Place indismissible
Devils Postpile
Devils Postpile exhibits a cliff of almost hexagonal basaltic columns, erect like a dark stone beam on the edge of the San Joaquin River. The trail combines volcanic geology, Sierra forest and, a little further, the fall of Rainbow Falls when the water is strong.
Nature and landscape
Convict Lake
Convict Lake heats up a cold turquoise water at the foot of steep walls, with Mount Morrison closing the horizon like a wall. The lake tower gives very different angles on the reflections, the reeds and the peaks, while the fishermen come mainly for trout.
Nature and landscape
Mono Lake
Mono Lake looks like a lunar landscape set in the Eastern Sierra desert, with its whitish tuff towers coming out of the alkaline water. The shores attract many migratory birds, visible above the alkaline flies and brine shrimp that feed this very particular ecosystem.
Place indismissible
Hot Creek
In Hot Creek A clear river runs through a mineral gorge where hot springs colour the water of unreal blues and greens. The contrast between fumoils, dust banks and snowy peaks of the Sierra gives the site a rare volcanic tension, even if swimming is prohibited.
