I would recommend this as a stopping point along your travels of Mono County and Highway 108 and 395. There are no services in the area so if you need to rest, I would stop here and enjoy the view.

Love the town of Lee Vining. After driving thru Yosemite on Tioga Road 120 , continue on hwy 395…read morethen BOOM!!! , the town appears. About 10 miles after passing thru the East Gate ( of Yosemite). Cute little resort town , love the fact that there are no chain restaurants/ coffee shops in the whole entire town. No McDonald's or Starbucks in sight. We stopped at this cute little old school diner called Nicely's for BLT sandwich and fries ... and a huge Mono Lake size ice cream sundae:) All delicious and friendly service. After our tummies are full , we drove to see Mono Lake. To me , this lake is just okay. Not spectacularly pretty because no trees or vegetation around the lake , looking dried. Not much water in the lake. However , wait till night time. We went to see the Tufas in the dark . OMG!!!!!!!!!!! We could see the Milky Way and gazillion stars in the dark sky. I had NEVER seen that many stars in my life. Simply AMAZING!!!!!! No words can describe. Well worth the 10 hour ( round trip ) drive. Next morning we drive up to Convict Lake, Virginia Lake and June Lake. Snow capped mountains towering over the crystal clear lakes ... the changing colors of the leaves , cool crisp autumn air ... breathtakingly beautiful.
