Definitely a ton of parking at this outlook. The road is gravel and a little bumpy but most cars could make it.

Beautiful view of the Sierra's with Mt Whitney in the background and Line Pine peak prominent in the foreground against the vast expanse of Alabama Hills. Place where the Afghanistan scene was shot in the Ironman movie. The setting of Snow capped mountains in the background and rock's of various shapes and sizes in the foreground makes this a sight to behold. Drive requires a vehicle with a decent ground clearance and good tires as parts of the movie road are washboard sections.
