Panorama Vista

Panorama Vista sits at 2,251 feet on the Talimena Scenic Drive, facing 60 degrees with the land dropping 742 feet within 600 meters of the overlook. The view spans a series of named peaks and features to the north and east: High Point 5.5 miles northeast, Goats Bluff 7.1 miles north-northeast, and the Indian Nations National Scenic and Wildlife Area 7.2 miles east. Farther out, Brushy Mountain rises 7.7 miles northeast, Blue Mountain 7.8 miles east-northeast, and Holson Valley Vista 7.9 miles east-southeast. The Holson Valley State Game Management Area lies 9.5 miles east, with the Waterfowl Refuge at the same distance to the north-northeast. Post Mountain sits 10.3 miles east and Snake Mountain 10.5 miles east. The overlook's orientation puts it 30 degrees off square with sunrise; on the June solstice the sun rises at 06:07 and sets at 20:37, while on the December solstice sunrise is 07:24 and sunset 17:13. Poteau is the nearest town, 24.9 miles northeast, followed by Pocola at 39.2 miles and Greenwood at 47.4 miles. Deadman Gap Overlook precedes this stop on the drive, and Potato Hills Vista follows.
