Talk about interesting. Almost seems out of this world. Park and pay then enjoy the paved walked down to the lake's shore.

The lake here feels mysterious somehow. Maybe it's because Mono Lake is an alkaline salt lake. Located at the east entrance of Yosemite, this is a nice place with a very …

Incredible scenery! Well worth the stop to stretch your legs while driving the 395. Tip: Bring lots of water for yourself and any four legged friends. The trail between the lower parking lot and visitors info center may only be a little over 1 mile but the climb feels much further due to the heat and wind

Easy access to the Lake and walking path. Not far off the main hwy. There are bathrooms and a paybox, $3 per car to park and explore. The walking is not difficult, but can be muddy by the lake so your sandals may not be the best choice👍🙂💜 …

A great place for a family hike & dogs are allowed. Such a unique & stunning place, a must see! There's a visitors center (closed right now) but if you drive another mile down the road, you can park right next to the lake. The geology & history is fascinating. Also a sense of mystery.

This place is so cool. I recommend doing some research on this park before you arrive. If you're just casually driving by on your way to or from on the highway I'd recommend going to the visitors center first and learning about the lake …
