Beneath the shadow of a dormant volcano, alpine lakes mirror pine-studded mountains where black bears occasionally wander through town as if checking their investments.

Take the Village Gondola for panoramic views without breaking a sweat. The eerie tufa towers of Mono Lake rise like ancient sculptures from mineral-rich waters.
