Mono Lake.

Park Mono Lake, one of North America’s oldest lakes, offers a captivating blend of unique geology, rich biodiversity, and recreational opportunities. Famous for its striking tufa towers—mineral formations created by freshwater springs bubbling through the lake's alkaline waters—the park's landscape is both surreal and breathtaking. The lake's highly saline water, 2.5 times saltier than the ocean, supports a thriving ecosystem, including millions of migratory birds, brine shrimp, and alkali flies. Visitors can explore hiking trails and boardwalks through marshland, enjoy kayaking at Navy Beach, or engage in guided programs that delve into the area's natural history. With its volcanic features and vibrant wildlife, Mono Lake is a remarkable destination for nature enthusiasts and photographers alike.
