Sierra Viewpoint Trail Description
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.
