4 miles of hiking • 750' elevation gain • 1 night
Primitive camping is allowed on the north shore of Mono Lake, you can walk in from a gate off the cemetary road. We were the only humans around this bleak but beautiful place. After a calm night on the lunar-like surface of the lakeshore, we trudged up nearby Black Point which is a volcano that long agos was submerged under the lake. When it erupted underwater, the cooling lava fractured forming big cracks on the top, now known as the Black Point Fissures. The kids had a blast exploring the cracks, similar to Oregon's "Crack in the Ground".
