Mono Lake

If one salt lake isn’t enough for you, how about two? Mono Lake formed around 760,000 years ago, so we can’t credit its existence to any human mishaps. You can explore all of its 70sqmi via kayak and we highly recommend going for a buoyant swim thanks to its high salt concentration.

Locals claim it’s a great place to go for a dip thanks to the waters curing properties, but the jury’s still out on that one and if you do have any medical issues, we do recommend talking to a doctor about them!

It’s also home to some two million migratory birds, so if you time your visit just right you might be able to see flocks of them during your stay.
