Description
Middle Palisades Glacier is the southernmost glacier in North America and I can drive to this viewpoint in about 3 hours from my home in Southern California. The United States has some unbelievable landscapes and you can reach many of them in your car, hiking miles into the wilderness is not always required. You can park about 20 feet from where you set up your tripod for this image. At the foot of this scene there is a small reflection pond that, if the wind cooperates, provides a perfect mirror of the scene here.

Thank you, Dave! We usually drive right through all those little towns along 395 on our way to Mammoth. I keep telling my husband that we need to detour off onto some of those side roads!!! ;-)

Hi Lynn: This location may not be the same as the reflection pond dries out periodically. It is at the end of the road that leads into the Sierras out of Big Pine, California (sorry I don't remember the street name but it is in the middle of town and I think there is a street light there). You climb significantly and park at the end of the road (there used to be a lodge there but it burned down a couple of times and may no longer be there). Wander around a little and you should see the pond with the glacier right above you. September is when you should get fall color there. Dave
