Morning of 9/21 - driving east on Tioga Road.  Tenaya lake coming up on the right.
 


That's Tenaya Lake in the distance, nestled between majestic mountains and forests.

Mono Lake.  This is a salt-lake, that is, it was part of the ocean when it was formed.  The white stuff is dried-up salt!

 Tioga Rd (Rt120) westwards, through side of Lee Vining Canyon
 


Lee Vining Canyon looking towards the west.  At the center of the picture, you see a road cut
through a gray section of the mountain - that is where one of the previous pictures was taken (facing east). (Larger picture)
 


Lee Vining Canyon - you can see a road on the bottom of the canyon, leading to parks and campgrounds. (Larger picture)


Lee Vining Canyon - one of the mountains lining the canyon. This one looked like a erupted and decaying volcano,
with rocks and debris still pouring down from the opening at top, which must be at least 1/3 of a mile wide.  (Larger picture)
