Overview
White Mountain Peak is California’s third-highest peak at 14,252 feet, in the White Mountains east of the Owens Valley. It is the only 14er in the contiguous U.S. outside the Rockies, Cascades and Sierra Nevada, with a long, non-technical hike of about 14 miles round trip from the Barcroft Station trailhead on a road often rutted and closed by snow. The University of California’s White Mountain Research Center operates high-altitude stations here, near the ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest.
