| Mono Lake Tufa State National Preserve is located near Yosemite National Park within Mono County, in eastern California. At this high-desert preserve, on the eastern side of the towering Sierra, ghostlike tufa towers trim the edges of a one-million-year-old lake, the salty remnant of an ancient inland sea. | |
| Over a million sea birds feed on the surface and swirl overhead—an incredible show of life in this seemingly desolate setting. | |
