Outlook - Oakhurst

Outlook - Oakhurst is a small roadside pullout on the grade between Fish Camp and Oakhurst, and it earns its 4.6-star rating across 34 reviews for one simple reason: the view. Pull off, step out, and you're looking down over the town of Oakhurst with the Sierra Nevada rising behind it — a two-minute stop that pays off every time.

What You'll Find

Reviewers consistently describe the pullout as uncrowded, with enough room to park and get out for photos without feeling rushed. It's wheelchair accessible, sitting right at road level with no trail or climb involved. There are no restrooms on site, so plan around that if you're traveling with a group.

Good to Know Before You Stop

• The overlook sits directly against a two-lane highway grade. Reviewers note that if you miss the turnoff, it's safer to keep driving than to try turning around on the road.
• This is a quick photo stop, not a destination with facilities — as one reviewer put it, there's not much here beyond the pullout and the view.
• Being so close to highway traffic, it's not the best spot to let young kids wander.
• It's accessible around the clock, so it works as a stop any time you're driving this stretch of road.
