Hidden in the Sierra Nevada wilderness in northern California, Donnell Vista is a mountain overlook that offers impressive scenic rewards in exchange for relatively little effort. Located deep in the Stanislaus National Forest, the viewpoint overlooks the Donnell Reservoir, the Middle Fork Stanislaus River Canyon, and the Whittaker Dardanelles mountains. Standing at the viewpoint, you'll be more than 2,000 feet above the reservoir, so you'll have a great vantage point for photos of the canyon. Donnell Vista is a tranquil spot, with a returning admirer on Google writing that the viewpoint is "peaceful" with "fresh winds and beautiful plants." Donnell Vista is a 20-minute drive east of Strawberry on Highway 108, and makes a scenic leg stretch on a longer road trip through the Sierra Nevada.
