MONO LAKE AND THE COMING WINTER

MONO LAKE AND THE COMING WINTER

It's been quite a while since we posted anything, sorry about that …

Going back almost a month to my birthday, December 1, we cruised up to Mammoth to ski a few days on our way up to Tahoe. There is really nothing like skiing on a Monday; it completely ruins weekend skiing for you.

After skiing, we drove out to Mono Lake. This place is kind of magical. The tufa towers are calcium-carbonate spires formed by interactions between freshwater springs (previously underwater) and the alkaline lake water. The formations are a little unreal, feels kind of like another planet. Mono Lake is an ancient lake, over 1 million years old. Definitely worth a stop if you’re up near Mammoth.
