    Start here! If this…read moreis your first time visiting Mono Lake, this is the place you should start! The visitor center is full of wonderful information about geological, ecology and cultural history of Mono Lake and its surroundings. The Rangers working in the visitor center are extremely friendly and helpful. You can easily spend a couple of hours in there and not even feel the passing of time! The view from the back yard of the visitor center is great. If you step outside with a camera I am sure it will be clicking fast! If you are into hiking or photography, ask the rangers for a map of the area and their recommendations for best photo opportunity spots.

    The Mono Basin National Forest Scenic Area Visitor Center is an oasis on Highway 395. When we…read morepulled off the road, the whole area was a little hazy because of smoke from a nearby fire. I could see nothing in their direction other than the visitor center itself. When we walked inside, I saw how large this place was. There were educational displays to explain how tufas form and how salty Mono Lake is compared to the ocean, among other things. There is also a station where you can press buttons to highlight local attractions on a large map. There is also a small theater where you can watch a 20 minute introductory movie about Mono Lake. It is shown repeatedly throughout the day. The movie was informative, but my friend suspected that he had already seen it the last time he was here, 15 years ago. The highlight of the center for me was the photography exhibit in the back. On display were images of the Mono Lake area over the years, by such famous landscape photographers as Ansel Adams, Edward Curtis, Galen Rowell, and Edward Weston. If you are interested in souvenirs, there is a large gift shop as well. For those who are road weary, clean restrooms with flush toilets are available. The building is air conditioned. All the rangers we met here were friendly and helpful. If you have time, hike Panum Crater!
