Donnell Vista Point

The Donnell Vista Point trailhead is located about 16 miles east of Strawberry on HWY 108. The two trailheads (left & right) are clearly visible from the parking area. There are restrooms directly ahead as you enter the parking area.

The trailheads are adjacent to the parking lots both to the right and left. There are placards that explain the history of the area including wagon trains and gun battles that occured in the area.

The vista point rises 2,000+ feet above the Donnells Reservoir and the Middle Fork of the Stanislaus River. During the spring melt; cascades and water falls are visible across the canyon as well as the snow covered Dardenelles Cones.
