New Trail to Mono Lake
This excavator is parked at Old Marina in preparation for
work that is beginning on a 1.3-mile-long
trail from the Scenic Area Visitor Center down to the lakeshore. The trail
will pass an ice-age tufa formation known
locally as Ice House Tufa, cross old lakeshores, link with the David Gaines
Memorial Boardwalk, and end up at Old
Marina. California State Parks and the US Forest Service are the primary
agencies developing the trail, with the
Mono Lake Committee as a partner in the process. Construction
began in late June and the trail should be
open for public use in 2009!
For more information, see the
Mono
Lake Newsletter and the
US Forest Service project page.
