Day 7: Over the Pass

Leaving June Lake, but still in “lake mode,” we headed north to Mono Lake to check out the visitor’s center and learn about this unique “salt lake” with its strange tufas (salt tower formations).

Then on up 395 along the Eastern Sierras to find hiway 108 to Sonora Pass.

No problem with snow or nightfall this time. And 108 is good paved road all the way.

Spectacular views all along Sonora Pass

Found a gem of a small campground, Mill Creek, for our last night out.

An idyllic small campground, and for once, plenty of room for us!
