Nunatak Nature Trail
Nunatak Nature Trail offers close-up views of exposed volcanic bedrock, alpine meadows and sweeping vistas of Mono Lake and the Sierra Nevada. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm side-light on rock textures and lake reflections. Short ~1‑mile loop off Highway 395 near Lee Vining; small parking area, uneven dirt path—wear sturdy shoes. No permit required; light crowds except summer weekends. Seasonal wildflowers in late spring and dramatic snow/ice contrasts in winter make images more compelling.
