Swimming

With it's numerous hot springs and being nestled in a sheltered valley, Mono Hot Springs has summertime temperatures which are comparatively warmer for an elevation of 6,500 ft. Daytime temperatures average in the mid 80's with night time temps in the mid 50's. This nice warm weather makes for great swimming. Doris Lake, just a mile hike from Mono is only spring fed making the surface nice and warm for very comfortable swimming. Also, a large pool in the river across from the General Store is a favorite swimming area with natural hot springs that feed into the river
