The Magician is a stunning granite spire where the former Needles Fire Lookout Tower once stood. Tragically destroyed by a fire on July 28, 2011, this iconic location still offers breathtaking views that stretch all the way to Mt. Whitney. It's an ideal place to immerse yourself in the incredible beauty surrounding you for miles.
