This live stream looks out over the Mono Lake area near Lee Vining, on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada. It is a useful way to check how the lake and surrounding landscape look right now before deciding on a trip.
About Mono Lake
Mono Lake is a large, ancient saline lake in eastern California, set in a basin of volcanic tufa towers and dry desert scrub. Its water is far saltier than the sea and supports dense colonies of brine shrimp and alkali flies, which in turn feed migrating birds. Lee Vining is the small town on its western shore, and the lake is a well-known stop for those exploring the Eastern Sierra.
What to watch for
Depending on the view, you may see the open water, the shoreline and the surrounding slopes of the Sierra Nevada. Early morning and late afternoon usually bring the softest light and the calmest surface, while wind can roughen the lake during the day. Seasonal changes are noticeable, with snow often on the peaks in winter and spring. The stream is a live feed from the source, so conditions may change quickly.
Climate and planning
The area sits at roughly 1,950 metres, so days can be warm in summer while nights stay cool, and winter brings snow and cold temperatures. Late spring through early autumn is generally the most comfortable time to visit. Lee Vining is a small base for exploring the lake, nearby trails and the wider Eastern Sierra, and it is a good idea to check the live weather above before heading out.
