This live stream looks toward the Mill Creek area near Lee Vining, on the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada. It suits anyone planning a trip to Mono Lake or curious how the high desert looks right now. Use the page to check conditions before you drive over the pass.

About the setting

Lee Vining sits at roughly 1,950 metres in the Eastern Sierra, a small town that serves as the main gateway to Mono Lake. The lake is one of the oldest bodies of water in North America, known for its alkaline water, tufa towers and the freshwater springs that feed it. The landscape is dry, open and framed by volcanic terrain and high granite peaks, with a strong sense of space and quiet.

What to watch and when

The camera is categorised as nature, so the most rewarding moments are usually around sunrise and sunset, when light moves across the lake basin and the surrounding slopes. Weather changes quickly at this altitude, so clouds, wind and snow showers can alter the view within minutes. Dawn is often calm, while afternoon wind can bring dust or choppy water, depending on the view at that moment.

Practical notes

The area has a cold semi-arid climate with hot, dry summers and cold winters, when mountain roads may close or require chains. Spring and autumn are generally the most comfortable times to visit. Nearby, the June Lake area and the June Mountain patrol camera give a wider picture of the Eastern Sierra. The stream is provided by its owner, monolake.org, and is shown here with a link to the source.
