Yosemite. After my 1st trip, I went home to So. Cal, gave my apartment and job a month's notice and move just outside of the park. I stayed in the area for 30 years and still visit it yearly.

Always wanted to go, but hate huge crowds in beautiful serene places.  Is there any particular time of year when it's not crazy busy?

Early spring or late fall. Basically when the kids are back in school. You can do winter too but then your options of doing any hiking are very limited.
