Mono County
Mono County is in the center of a vast alpine region of breathtaking scenery, fascinating geologic features, and a myriad of recreational opportunities. Located in the Eastern Sierra's heartland, it is a land of high relief and striking contrasts. There are sweeping views of granite crags over 13,000 feet, scenic glacial valleys, clear lakes and streams and plentiful wildlife. At the center of the county is Mono Lake, a vital habitat for millions of migratory and nesting birds. Visitors enjoy a variety of recreational opportunities embraced in three Wilderness Areas, two National Forests and the world class ski resort communities of Mammoth Lakes and June Mountain.
