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

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

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.
