We drove to the Mono Basin National Forest Scenic Area this morning to do 3 short hikes. We went to the south shore first and started with the Panama Crater Trails. We hiked the Crater Rim Trail and the Plug Trail for a total of 2.5 miles with 200 ft of overall gain. This is a fascinating place.
View to the west from the crater rim, beautiful view of Sierra Mountains.
View to the south along the crater rim, looking towards Mono Lake
As we continued around the rim, we could see some Sierra Peaks over the Plug Dome inside the crater.
