Wild By Nature

Mono County is a place of wild beauty and adventure.  In California's Eastern Sierra, it is a land of high plains, dramatic alpine backdrops, and clear lakes and streams. 

Beauty is everywhere.  You'll see it in the snowy sawtooth peaks of the Sierra Nevada, in wildflower-carpeted alpine meadows, at jewel-like lakes, surrounded by the fragrance of desert sage, and amid the bizarre tufa towers and millions of birds of Mono Lake.

Adventure is everywhere, too.  You'll find it exploring the ghost town of Bodie, riding pack animals into the High Sierra, fishing for trophy-sized trout in a cobalt-blue lake, coasting a bike down a mountain, hiking though fall color, and skiing at Mammoth or June Mountain.

Anywhere along U.S. 395, Mono County's nature is to be wild.
