Throughout the year, the Mono Lake Committee offers a number of guided activities, from hour-long walking tours to multi-day field seminars. Led by knowledgeable local guides, participating in these activities is a great way to make the most of your time at Mono Lake. Please note, all activities are currently canceled due to COVID-19.
