This drone photo was taken from directly above the Lake Twenty-Two Trailhead parking lot.
To reach the Lake Twenty-Two Trailhead, head out on Mountain Loop Highway and drive for 2.1 miles, just past the ranger station. The trailhead parking lot will be on the right hand side of the road. From the parking lot (reference the GPS to see where I stood), you can launch your done straight overhead.
