The way of the Mono

<br /><br />Bass Lake from the Way of the Mono Trail
While at Bass Lake, we decided to take on a short easy hike to learn about the way of the Mono Indians. Larissa wanted to explore the trail and learn about the Indians, and we thought that would be a good way to spend the morning.

We took the trail by the lake not sure what to expect. That might have been a good thing. We read about how to tell the different types of pines in the area, and what some of them might have been used for by the Indians. But other than the interpretive signs there was no sight of anything else.

What we did find out was a spectacular view of the lake at the highest point of the trail. So we stood there, on top of this smooth rock, looking out to the water and the serene blue sky. It was beautiful, it was perfect, and it was most definitely worth it.
