Know Before You Go:

  • One of the best places to view the tufa towers at Mono Lake up close.

  • This is a great spot for sunset - expect to see many photographers here.

  • Please avoid climbing on the towers as they are extremely fragile and stay on the marked paths.

  • Purchase your pass ahead of time or bring cash for the dropbox at the trailhead.

  • Family friendly!
