Photograph Minaret Vista

Madera County, California

Description

Easy to get to with spectacular scenery and a wide range of peaks.

To get there, take Minaret Road North from Main Street about 5 miles toward the entrance to the Postpile monument. Before Minaret Road turns into Postpile Road, turn right onto Lookout Point Road. At the end of Lookout Point is a turnaround parking lot that you can park in. A few short steps from the parking lot is the vista. There are some trails that you can take to hike or mountain bike from here, but the view is spectacular and all the peaks and other sights are clearly marked at the lookout.
