Keys View offers a sweeping sight of a
beautiful valley with mountains in the distance and on clear
days the vista extends all the way to Mexico. This fantastic
lookout, located at 5185 ft, is accesible by a road going
south from the main park road. Below you lies the Coachella
Valley, from Palm Springs area to the Salton Sea. To the
south and west you can see Mount San Jacinto (10804 ft) and
San Gorgonio Peak (11.499 ft) the highest point in Southern
California with their peaks covered with snow. It's definitely
worth the drive. As you can see from the picture we got there
just in time. Five minutes later the fog had hidden everything
from sight.
