Martis Peak
Martis Peak is a high mountain peak at an elevation of 2.652m (8,700ft) above the sea level, located in Placer County, in the U.S. state of California.
The road to the summit, located within the Tahoe National Forest, is asphalted but curvy and narrow, so if another car is coming, you have to find a spot to pull over. It’s called Martis Peak Road. The road is closed in winters. Avoid driving in this area if mountain roads aren't your strong point. Stay away if you're scared of heights. Perched just below the summit is a fire lookout, originally constructed in 1914. It is staffed five days a week during the fire season for spotting fires.
