Table of contents

The Sierra Viewpoint Trail is a short route with hardly any notable elevation incline and is therefore appropriate for all skill levels and families with young children. The route ends at a scenic overlook, where incredible sightlines of the surrounding eastern Sierra Nevada Mountain range can be enjoyed.

Route Description for Sierra Viewpoint Trail

While the Sierra Viewpoint Trail is appropriate for all skill levels, it is not the most accessible route as it requires a reasonably long drive off of the main highway to reach. We suggest combining this route with others along White Mountain Road to make the most of the drive.

Being short, straight, and with little elevation incline, the Sierra Viewpoint Trail is incredibly easy-to-follow. Once you have reached the trailhead, follow the defined pathway as it makes its way south. You will soon arrive at the overlook, where you should take some time to admire the fantastic views and perhaps take a few pictures. Once you're ready, backtrack your steps towards the trailhead and your waiting vehicle.

Getting to the Sierra Viewpoint Trail Trailhead

The trailhead for Sierra Viewpoint Trail is located off of White Mountain Road.
