Feels earlier than usual. Still too bad that it doesn't leave earlier from the valley (and later from TM).

does this bus make requested stops at trail heads along the way ?

You bet! I've done it many times. It's a great way to hike back down to the Valley for a day hike or backpack.
Also, I always try to tip the driver a little something, especially if he gets my backpack out of the bus!

Quick FYI: next Sunday, Sept 16, is the last day of operation for this year.

It will only make stops at a trail heads along the way if there is a reasonably safe place to stop.
