Mono Lake Tufa State National Reserve

Mono Lake Tufa State National Reserve marks the western border of the Great Basin, a region of contiguous endorheic watersheds, meaning those with no outlets to a river or ocean. The Eastern border is Utah’s Great Salt Lake. Because these waters are at a standstill, a whole range of different natural phenomena occurs… creating their characteristic unearthly beauty in this case: sandcastle like formation of sediment.

To follow, the beauty I capture in my short walk in the southern entrance.
