Devil Peak
Devil Peak is a high mountain peak at an elevation of 2.128m (6,981ft) above the sea level, located in Mariposa County, in the southernmost part of Yosemite National Park, in California, USA.
The road to the summit, located within the Sierra National Forest, is gravel, rocky, tippy and bumpy at times. Road conditions are always changing. The road is usually impassable from October to June (weather permitting). Avoid committing your vehicle to what is in front of you until you are sure of what you are getting into because things could get worse. 4x4 vehicle required. A traveler on this road must be experienced and completely devoted to safe, slow and obstacle-conscious driving to deter danger. This is definitely not a Sunday drive. The steep drive will take some skill, some patience, and some tolerance for vertigo. At the summit there’s a lookout tower, called Signal Peak Lookout. It was originally constructed in 1900 as a compass lookout and it’s still staffed for fire detection.
