Iconic highway sign at 9,624 ft marking Sonora Pass with sweeping High Sierra peaks and winding CA-108. Photograph the sign as a foreground anchor with ridgelines and alpine meadows behind. Best visited late spring–early fall (road often closed in winter). Sunrise and sunset give warm side light and dramatic skies; midday shows crisp clarity. Small pullout parking available; expect wind and high-altitude conditions—bring layers and check Caltrans for closures.
