3. Explore Mono Lake, California

Our next selection in the list of best places to visit in the USA during springtime is the Mono Lake of California. The waters are always in different shades of green and blue. Another special phenomenon about Mono Lake is the formation of limestone columns rising above the lake surface. These are called the Tufa Towers, which are whitish uneven columns of calcium carbonate formed in saltwater lakes, which have a high carbonate concentration. The composition of the lake is a major of saline soda lake, which was formed 760,000 years ago. Due to the lack of any outlets, high levels of salt have been accumulating in the basin for all these years, making the water alkaline.

The high salinity of the lake results in virtually no endemic aquatic life over there. There are planktonic algae, alkali flies, etc. One famous species in the region is the Mono Lake Brine Shrimp, which is endemic to the region. These Brine Shrimps are of no food value to humans but are eaten by birds a lot. Mono Lake is also considered as Mecca for numerous species of migratory birds that flock the region in huge numbers every year.
