Highest point on U.S. Highway 395 (~8,143 ft) between Bridgeport and Mono Lake, with a signed Mono Lake Scenic Viewpoint that opens a classic Eastern Sierra panorama over the basin, islands, and Sierra crest. Long a landmark on the mountain trade and tourism corridor linking mining camps to the Mono Basin; today it is the essential roadside pullout for photographers and road-trippers cresting into Lee Vining country.
