Mono Lake Tufa Towers
This family's experience:

Activities: We made a detour to Mono Lake during a September road trip while spending a weekend at Mammoth Mountain Resort. We walked the 1-mile trail along the shoreline and among the tufa towers

Highlights: Our kids enjoyed the rather bumpy ride to the parking lot. We all enjoyed the unique scenery with the Sierra Nevada mountains as a backdrop ✨
