Point Of Mountain Scenic Overlook Observation Site

Point Of Mountain Scenic Overlook Observation Site sits at 8,935 feet along White Mountain Scenic Road, facing 30 degrees, with terrain dropping 276 feet within 600 meters of the site. The view to the east-northeast takes in Round Mountain at 5.1 miles (8,051 ft), Flat Top at 5.8 miles (8,148 ft), and Picnic Hill at 7.8 miles (7,657 ft). A Public Viewing Area lies 6.6 miles to the north-northeast at 7,035 feet, and Coyote Hills rise to the northeast at 11.0 miles, reaching 7,784 feet. Eagar is the closest town, 5.8 miles northeast, while Pinetop-Lakeside and Whiteriver / Chʼilwózh are farther off, 35.5 miles west-northwest and 38.0 miles west-southwest respectively. Sunrise and sunset times shift across the year, from a 05:07 sunrise at the June solstice to a 07:20 sunrise at the December solstice, with sunset ranging from 19:33 in June to 17:13 in December. The steep drop-off near the overlook means the foreground terrain falls away quickly, opening the sightlines toward the peaks and viewing area listed above.
