| Alkali LakeAlkali Lake and Dunes, and Hutton Spring, to the west.Bruce Pavlik's (1985) review of sand dune flora of the western United States included the Alkali Lake Dunes as its northernmost locality. Hutton Spring, on the northwest margin of Alkali Lake, is the sole habitat of the Hutton tui chub, classified as a threatened subspecies by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. On the southwestern margin of Alkali Lake is a pretty messy chemical waste disposal site. About 25,000 drums of pesticide manufacturing waste were disposed of here in the late 1960s and 1970s. In 1976, the drums were crushed and buried in place in shallow trenches and fenced. Current analysis concludes that the site does not present a significant risk to the public or the environment. | | Lakeview

| Snow fences along US Highway 395 at Deadman Creek Road. Watch for 1950s Caltrans-installed snow fences to the west. Fences were constructed upwind to keep wind-driven snow off the highway. Snow drifts build up along the eastern side of the fences, helping keep the road open with minimal plowing. The effects of higher and lower amounts of precipitation over time can be evaluated by looking at shrubs on either side of the snow fences. Near Deadman Creek, Michael Loik (UC Santa Cruz) and graduate students are studying simulations of increased and decreased snow depth scenarios as envisioned by some climate change models. Fluctuating snow depth results in variable soil moisture available for shrub and tree growth in the subsequent spring and summer, effects resonating through processes in the ecosystem such as litterfall, root growth, soil carbon storage, and soil nitrogen content. Their work on carbon, water, and nutrient fluxes driven by snow depth/melt timing in this system helps understand community-level responses to snow depth changes. Such responses include natural recruitment of Jeffrey and lodgepole pines (Pinus jeffreyi and P. contorta), as well as Great Basin sagebrush and antelope bitterbrush (Artemisia tridentata and Purshia tridentata) (McNulty, 2004).

Keough Hot Springs | | Locations: Klondike Lake.
Klondike Lake is located in an alkali sink north of Big Pine. Before 1986, the alkali sink was intermittently filled with water from the Owens River via the Big Pine Canal and the Lyman Ditch. Under the Klondike Lake Enhancement/Mitigation Project in 1986, the lake level has been maintained via water releases from the Big Pine Canal. The Mono Lake Committee lists Klondike Lake as one of the best water bird areas in the Eastern Sierra. The lake is heavily used for recreation on summer weekends, including swimming, water-skiing, sailing and windsurfing. The lake can be seen from US Highway 395, about two miles north of California Highway 168 in Big Pine. A cattle guard and information board mark the turnoff. Turn east onto an unmarked dirt road.
