Travel Guide

Mono Lake Tufa State Natural Reserve, California. Panoramic view

Tufa towers loom above the brine shrimp salty waters in the Eastern Sierras #Adventure

Before the lake was drained in the '40s to supplement Los Angeles' water supply, these creepy formations (tufas) were under water, formed by bubbles rising from hot springs.

Sunrise on February 16, 2015

Just north of the town of Lee Vining.

Probably even a better sunrise photo can be taken from near Navy Beach, the South Tufa Area of Mono Lake.
