Went at dawn and it was absolutely beautiful watching the mountains light up slowly as the sun rose in the east. Plenty of parking at that time of the morning and I found the perfect rock on which to sit and meditate in the day ✨🙏🌄
Beautiful 360 view and some trails you can take. Great sunsets.
Todays stormy weather obstructed the view. Great Vista with clean rest rooms, picnic tables, short trails with benches.
Overlook area had a couple horizon finders.
Beautiful view from the crest of the Sierra to the border of Yosemite National Park. Paved road and parking. Picnic tables and grills.
Truly spectacular. Breaktaking Views.
I lived in California for over 40 years and would always plan to come this way but never made it here until now.
The day I visited could not have been more perfect: clear sky, 72° summer day.
What took me by surprise was that in the middle of August there were still patches of snow on the ground about a foot high! It turns out that this area got well over 700 inches of snow in the record setting winter of 2022-2023.
This is definitely a must see, just the drive up Highway 395 on the back side of the Sierras is worth the trip alone.
Minaret Vista is a beautiful vista point near Mammoth Mountain with beautiful landscape views of the surrounding wilderness, peaks, and valley below. Well worth the detour.
the entire drive there could be clear but then entirely foggy and cloudy with zero to minimal visibility once you get there. probably harder to predict good views outside of summer
Great place to see all the mammoth mountain ranges from this point ..must visit
