Reviews
"They were able to update me on all the road conditions, even the dirt roads which allowed a fantastic round trip to the South Tufa. Gave me a great map of the area to plan our route; drawing in dirt roads not on the map. Also updated us on the possible power outages due to power line maintenance."
"Excellent books and gifts and information about Mono Lake...from the committee that helped save it. Definitely worth a visit."
"Amazing! So friendly and helpful stuff! They have is fantastic hints and insides of the area, which mafe is stay the days longer then planned UND made the time eben more valuable in this beautiful area! Thank you!"
"This is one of the best resources for learning about Mono lake and preserving it. The committee was the force behind stopping the LA Department of water and Power from turning the Mono basin into a dry wasteland like they did to the Owens valley to the south. Been a member for 22 years, money well spent as their stream restoration programs have visibly and hugely improved the entire ecosystem since I joined. A must visit if you enjoy the beauty of the lake and basin."
"This place is a great stop for books, souvenirs, and local goods! The staff there were super friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back during my next stop in Lee Vining!"
