Benton

The eastern Sierra Nevada defines the setting of Benton — dry, open country on the range’s eastern side gives this Mono County settlement a distinctly high-desert character. Benton developed as a mining camp during the 1860s, amid the search for precious metals across eastern California. It remains a small stop on U.S. Route 6, surrounded by sagebrush terrain and close to the White Mountains. Nearby Benton Hot Springs recalls the area’s long connection with mineral water.
