The summer travel season in the Eastern Sierra brings migrants and pilgrims.

The birds, attuned to nature’s siren song, have winged their way to the Mono Basin. The long days and warm nights bring the fecundity back to the brush and pines. These feathered migrants perch, peck, and peruse our shores and sage, feeding their young in hope for the next generation. Blue, black, yellow, green, orange, red, and white tufted flyers startle across skies.

Likewise, with open passes and the promise of adventure, come the pilgrims. Join them.

Starting Thursday, June 18 the Mono Lake Committee Information Center & Bookstore will be open from 8:00am to 9:00pm every day. Pilgrims are welcome.

Looking for birds, flowers, fish, or trails? Need a book, bottle, or bric-a-brac? Come see us. All our books and T-shirts are gluten free.

The days are long but summer is short.
