Spring Break Road Trip 2011: The Most Beautiful Place You've Never Heard Of
But the time did come to leave Grandma and Auntie Christine and head out on the highway ourselves. With our good luck fairies of course. We had places to go!
I'm a guidebook junkie. Love 'em. The minute I start considering a new destination I head to the library to grab some guidebooks on the area.
But sometimes guidebooks fail you. Mono Lake, California, for example. The guidebooks say that it is "worth a quick stop to see the strange formations if you are in the area." Whoa. Understatement there!
While it doesn't take long to explore, the site itself is well worth a detour to check out these otherworldly shapes.
Even the walk down to the lake was breath-taking.
Big Sky country indeed!
We poked around awhile and mostly had the place to ourselves. Just one photographer there.
It was very cold and windy.
But spectacular every direction you looked.
When I write my own guidebook, I'm going to tell people not to miss Mono Lake.

Wow!! I had no idea such a thing existed. How fun! You guys should check our Goblin Valley in So. Utah if you're ever in that neck of the woods. Soren would LOVE it. It's a huge valley of weird rock formations that are all kid-sized climbable (is that a word?).
