Here's a smaller resolution view of the Eagle Beaks photo.

This is the mountain you can see from the Mile High Viewpoint on the Sceinic Byway that runs from North Fork to Mammoth Pools Lake.

Can you give me some better directions or what map would that be found on?
Possible coordinates for Google Earth? I have some friends coming up in a few weeks and that looks like it'd be a nice place to go.

Take the Scenic Byway (rd 225) out of North Fork toward Mammoth Pools. Travel about 24 miles to the Mile High Vista viewpoint. At the viewpoint rest stop, turn around and look behind what one would consider the 'normal view' and you will see Eagle Beak.

For Google earth coordinates, type or copy the following into the search bar: 37 19'03"n 119 21'10.89"w If you have "Panaramio" checked off in the "Geographic Web" section of your "layers" for Google Earth then you will see several pictures from this Mile High Vista, including at least one of Eagle Beak.

Note that if you ask Google Earth for directions it will give you some very confusing ones which tell you to take this road, turn on that road, then this road, etc. But it is actually much easier than their written directions. Just take the Byway and follow it. The actual road numbers may change technically, so their directions note that, but when you're driving you simply follow the main road and you never even realize that the road number changed. All the offshoot roads are obviously minor roads, so you don't have to worry about following the correct road.

(The vista is also breathtaking, and I have a panoramic shot of that which is also hanging in the Oak Room. Its a combination of 38 photographs which I stitched together to make one panorama. The original was 12 feet long by 4 feet tall, although the photo hanging in the Oak Room is much smaller).

Thanks. I'll be going there in a few weeks... or is it still snowed in?

It also seems I'll have to stop by the Oak Room the next time I'm in town.

I just wanted to let everyone here know that approximately 1/3 of the raffle tickets have already been sold for this amazing raffle item and they have only been available for about a week. Stop by The Oak Room to grab your ticket(s) while supplies last.
