In September 2021 we stayed at Benton Hot Springs in Mono County CA for our 25th wedding anniversary. Highlights include traveling through Yosemite, finding petroglyphs, hiking and just soaking up the high desert beauty. Our little chi-terrier mix Cici love, love, loved exploring the rock formations. She would not get in the car when it was time to leave! Since she came along 5 years ago, we wouldn't dream of a vacation without her.

The Yosemite Mariposa County region offers an adventure-filled autumn vacation not just for humans but for their four-legged companions as well.
