Mono Lake and the tufas

Driving down 395 from Carson City to Lee Vining is a pretty drive but you are completely surprised when you hit the over look for Mono Lake and the White Mountains.   Also surprising is how good the Visitor Center is.    The tufas at Mono Lake are limestone formations that were formed under water with calcium and carbonate from natural springs.   Then when the lake dropped they were exposed.   We took a great short hike along the south tufas.
