Fall is slowly making its way into the Mono Basin, evident in the dropping temperatures, a few scattered aspen branches turning gold, and the sudden quiet in the town of Lee Vining. Following the birds, our seasonal interns begin their migrations to new locations after a few productive months at the Mono Lake Committee. With the passing of summer, most of our guest visitations have also slowed down considerably.

The Mono Lake Committee Information Center & Bookstore hours will change on Saturday, September 16—we will be open from 9:00am to 5:00pm daily.

Be sure to stop by to get the latest information on all things Mono Lake, check for updates on the changing autumn foliage as it arrives, and browse the bookstore for holiday gifts before the rush. We have had a beautiful summer here, and we are so happy to have gotten to share it with all of you!
