Enjoy this short easy hike out of the mountain town of Lee Vining and get ready to see iconic Mono Lake from an entirely different perspective. This hike is especially scenic in the late summer, fall, and early winter months. The trail descends through sagebrush scrub to the banks of Lee Vining Creek and then follows the creek upstream toward the northern end of town. The entire walk only about 2.2 miles, has about 200 feet of elevation change and is extremely easy
