We had a couple of good stops along the road today. The day started off with a trip up the mountain in a cable car at Squaw Valley. We didn’t try sking, but the view was tremendous. From there, we drove around the northern halfo of Lake Tahoe. It’s beautiful, but pretty built-up and full of tourists.
We ended the day at Lee Vining, CA, which is the home of Mono Lake. As the water level in Mono Lake has been drawn down to water Los Angeles, the calcite deposits on the bottom have been exposed. These tufas and common photo subjects in the area. It almost looks like a moon scape. Imagine a cave turned iniside-out.
