Trail Overview

This route drops around 150 feet in elevation as it heads toward Mono Lake, cutting through the scenic pumice Valley. The sand and pumice trail follows power lines and is surrounded by impressive views of Crater Mountain, the Eastern Sierras, and Mono Lake. As you approach the lake, the trail narrows and overgrown bushes start intruding on the trail width, potentially causing pinstripes on vehicles that venture too close to the vegetation.
