Happy Canada Day! I'll start the trip with some driving around Mono Lake including a few routes I haven't checked out before.
Day 2: Drive to Moho Mountain for tomorrow's hike

From Mono Lake forest to Nevada mountain desert in an afternoon, and an easy five-mile hike to get acquainted with the area and enjoy the sunset.
Day 3: Hiking Moho Mountain in Nevada's Excelsior Mountains
80 photos
With daytime highs in the low 80s, I wonder if a short but steep hike is a good idea, but it works out well. Roughly 6.5 miles round trip with 2200 feet of elevation gain to the peak at 8805 feet.
Day 4: Crater Mountain plateau in the Mono Craters
65 photos
Happy July 4th! A nice 7-mile hike in the low 80s before tomorrow's drive home. I walked the edge of this plateau the day I hiked up to the Crater Mountain summit and added it to my list of future hikes.

As much as I enjoy the drive over Sonora Pass on Highway 108, I rarely stop much along the way. Today I'll make a few stops.
