Conway Summit is the highest point on US 395 in California's huge Mono County at 8,138 feet above sea level (see the signs here). A county road, Virginia Lakes Road (above left), branches off to the west from US 395. The view to the south (below left) shows mountain peaks that were still snow-covered when this photo was taken on May 20, 2003.
