Mono Lake, in the High Sierra

We just returned from hiking a section of the 211 mile John Muir Trail. On our way to the trailhead, we stopped by Mono Lake, which Mark Twian called a “lifeless, treeless, hideous desert… the loneliest place on earth.” This was also the place where Clint Eastwood filmed the “High Plains Drifter.” In any case it is an pretty haunting place. one which draws many photographers to try to capture its stark yet mystical qualities.
