It was awesome 54 years ago when I went with a friend on our motorcycles. Traded hash with the staff and the world was our oyster. Soaking in the tub with hot mineral water up to your nostrils was the best.

Magical place up in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Everything is so peaceful and beautiful, people that come here are chilled and polite, the drive up here is spectacular. The staff is very polite and helpful and the ameneties are all you need to live on this beautiful rock we call home. There are many activities you can do, many hot springs you can visit, many hikes, many lakes, many things to see. Nature is healing and coming here to Mono Hot springs will bring you right in the middle of nature. I recommend it to anyone, wholeheartedly.

Tried to go in a tub, but they were all full for a while. Was finally able to get into a small river inlet tub. Lots of walking, but beautiful location

Truly unique experience. The ride in is very memorable 12 plus miles narrow windy two way road which often is wide enough for one car only. Staff and people extremely friendly. Restaurant very good. Hot springs are mostly mud holes with some surrounded by concrete slabs, but are the real deal, very natural. Beautiful setting. Prefer Mammoth, Yosemite, and Kings Canyon but this area is very nice also. Cabins are barebones but adequate
