Mono County, CA
Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.
Photographers and aviation spotters use high dirt spurs above Crowley Lake for Sierra backdrop views across the Long Valley caldera. There is no single official overlook named Haystack here—pins vary among informal pullouts. High-clearance helps; weather changes fast at elevation and winter access can close.
