Due to the continued closure of Highway 120 East caused by the Mono Fire, tonight’s South Tufa tour is canceled. It is likely that the South Tufa Area will be closed for the next few days, but we will put updates here as new information becomes available. In the meantime, there are plenty of other scenic spots to visit around Mono Lake including Old Marina and County Park.  Stop by our Information Center & Bookstore for suggestions of what to do during your stay in the Mono Basin!
