Minaret Vista Mammoth Lakes Lookout Point
View of Minaret Vista at 9265 Elevation. 40 mph winds on this day trip.
Minaret Vista near Mammoth Lakes, CA
This is a panoramic view from the Minaret Vista hike. My wife, two younger sons and I did this beautiful walk in July of 2013. It gains 1010 feet in 2.5 mi. It was absolutely gorgeous, and very windy.
The view starts facing east towards the White Mountains, then gradually swings to face west.
Here's the best write-up I've read about that hike: It's amazing: I've been going to the Bishop/Mammoth area over 50 years and never knew of this hike until my wife Valerie found descriptions it online.

Mammoth Lakes is a town in California's Sierra Nevada mountains. It's known for the Mammoth Mountain and June Mountain ski areas and nearby trails. The town is a base for Devils Postpile National Monument, a formation of basalt columns, and the soaring Rainbow Falls. To the north, saltwater Mono Lake is dotted with limestone towers. Yosemite National Park, with its granite cliffs and ancient sequoias, is nearby.
Mammoth Lakes lies on the edge of the Long Valley Caldera. The area around the town is geologically active, with hot springs and rhyolite domes that are less than 1000 years old. Visitors can take State Route 203 from the town of Mammoth Lakes to the Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, over Minaret Summit, then down to Devils Postpile National Monument, with access to the Ansel Adams Wilderness.
The area has natural hot springs which are sometimes used after skiing. Other features include lakes, a soda springs, and an obsidian dome. Mammoth Lakes is north of the Owens Valley, a scenic area with extensive hiking opportunities. The town is surrounded by mountains: on the west, Mammoth Mountain looms over the town, while to the south, the Sherwin Range dominates the view. This hilly terrain and the high altitude makes the area great for high-altitude athletic training, including among elite long-distance runners, who live and train in the thin air.
The town is surrounded by acres of forest and is bordered by the Ansel Adams and John Muir Wilderness Areas. The eastern entrance of Yosemite National Park is located 32 miles (51 km) north of town. The town is situated in the southwestern, mountainous part of Mono County, California.

Mammoth Mountain Minarets Time Lapse
This is a time-lapse taken on top of Mammoth Mountain facing the minarets and surrounding mountains in Mammoth Lakes, California. I used a Canon 7D and a 3.5 28-135mm lens.
Minaret Vista
Minaret Vista in the Inyo National Forest (elevation 9,265 feet). Obviously, I didn't know this at the time, but Steve Fossett died after crashing his aircraft into the mountains in the distance... That aside, it's an incredible view of one of the most extreme parts of the Sierra Nevada. If you visit Devil's Postpile, you'll pass Minaret Vista on the way in.
