Timo:
Bodie ghost town is about 30 miles north of Mono Lake, off US 395.
It's at the end of a well-maintained 5-mile dirt road, and worth a look:

At Mono Lake, get up before sunrise and make your way to South Tufa.
The signed left turnoff is from US 395 (small brown sign), about 3
miles south of Lee Vining and the junction with California 120 (Tioga
Pass Road):

If you have time, drive 120 west into Yosemite National Park at least
as far as Tuolomne Meadows. The sunsets there are spectacular this
time of year:

The trail to Mono Pass is worth a day too (8 miles round trip at
10,000 feet, relatively flat). The trailhead is about 1.5 miles after
the park entrance station, on your right. At the pass, you might see this guy:

At Bryce Canyon ("A hell of a place to lose a cow"), walk down the
Fairyland Loop:

Spoiled by the relative proximity of Yosemite, I prefer Bryce's red
rock sculpture to Zion's rugged granite. But if you get to Zion, walk
up the Zion Narrows along the Virgin River.
Enjoy your trip!

Good morning,
I'll soon be going to Vegas on vacation and will try to indulge in
visiting some of the more photogenic parts around there (plans so far
are going up to Mono Lake as my wife's never seen that, plus Bryce
Canyon and/or Zion National park).
Anyway, I usually prefer to have the transparencies developed there
instead of carrying the exposed films back to the UK. This list has been
great at recommending a pro lab in Silicon Valley a few years back so I
was wondering if someone could recommend a lab in Vegas? Most of the
places that are recommended on the web seem to have either fallen off
the edge of the world or don't do film anymore.
Thanks,
Timo
