Mono Lake
Water in the Great Basin does not flow to the ocean - similar to Great Salt Lake, Mono Lake is salty. \240It became much saltier when LA diverted much of the water for their water display, and the level dropped significantly. \240It has since risen after much legislation
Tufa formations
Driving onwards \240to Tioga Pass and \240Yosemite
