Tolosarraknyn in The West. Part II: In the middle of nowhere.


The last day in Yosemite  we visited the northern part of the park. In our way to Zion we crossed the park from west to east along the Tioga Road. Once we left the park, we saw Mono Lake. Mono Lake is a huge lake that has no outlet to the ocean and it's water has a big level of salt. We didn't have enough time to visit it... 

There are 450 miles (725 km.) from Mono Lake to Zion National Park. We spent a night in between. As Ander said "in the middle of nowhere", in Tonopah, a kind of "ghost" city. There is no other city in 100 miles around. It was a little bit scary but at least the sunset was amazing.  As you can see in the video I made, we made miles and miles along a wonderful deserted landscape. It was funny because in the middle of the road (nothing around) we saw several signs announcing a ranch which was 35 miles from there! Can you imagine? Those people live 35 miles from a road which is, at the same time, in the middle of nowhere!

After a tiring journey we got to Zion and we enjoyed the magnificent views and went swimming in the river.
