Misc pictures from Mono Lake area

Here area a few miscellaneous pictures from the Mono Lake area.

First off is June Lake.  This was one of the few beaches in the area.  (Locals probably know the more secluded sites, like the hot springs, but this one is nice.)  There is a very large shallow area, thus perfect for kids.  Plus a sloping rock that works as a slide.


This 'fault' is near the ski lodge in Mammoth Lake.  I took a picture of the informational plaque so I can remember about the site.  It is amazing how rock can be pulled apart.




This is the official hot springs.  This one is dangerous and run by the park service.  There is another hot springs which we learned about where you can actually sit in it.  Just be careful.  (One has to find a local to find it.)


On our visit to the Devil's Postpile/Red Meadow, we noticed that a lot of trees where down.  It seems the area was hit a couple of years back with high winds.  Here is a picture of tree vs picnic table.  Even a heavy duty picnic table was no match.
