[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text color=”none” tooltip_color=”color1″ tooltip_text_color=”color3″]The White Mountains<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0of California and Nevada are a triangular fault block mountain range facing the Sierra Nevada across the upper Owens Valley. They extend for approximately 60\u00a0mi (97\u00a0km) as a greatly elevated plateau about 20\u00a0mi (32\u00a0km) wide on the south, narrowing to a point at the north, with elevations generally increasing south to north. The range’s broad southern end is near the community of Big Pine, where Westgard Pass and Deep Springs Valley separate it from the Inyo Mountains. The narrow northern end is at Montgomery Pass, where U.S. Route 6 crosses. The Fish Lake Valley lies east of the range; the southeast part of the mountains are separated from the Silver Peak Range by block faulting across the Furnace Creek Fault Zone, forming a feeder valley to Fish Lake Valley. The range lies within the eastern section of the Inyo National Forest.[\/vc_column_text]

History of\u00a0The White Mountains<\/h3>

Cattle from ranches in surrounding valleys are still grazed under permit as high as the alpine zone.<\/h4>[vc_column_text color=”none” tooltip_color=”color1″ tooltip_text_color=”color3″]Historically sheep were also grazed in large numbers, introducing diseases from which the native Bighorn Sheep populations are still slowly recovering. Before European colonization of surrounding valleys in the mid 19th century, PaiuteIndians occupied summer hunting camps up to about 13,100\u00a0ft (4,000\u00a0m), leaving ruins of archeological interest.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]

Hiking<\/h3>

A four-wheel drive road reaches the summit from the south to service the summit laboratory of the White Mountain Research Station.<\/h4>[vc_column_text color=”none” tooltip_color=”color1″ tooltip_text_color=”color3″]The road is normally gated seven miles from the summit at an elevation of 11,680\u00a0ft (3,560\u00a0m), making this California’s easiest 14,000\u00a0ft (4,300\u00a0m) summit. North of White Mountain Peak, two sharp ar\u00eates alternate along the crest with broad “whalebacks” and high plateaus with about six more summits over 13,000\u00a0ft (4,000\u00a0m). The crest crosses the California-Nevada state line just south of a final high summit Boundary Peak 13,147\u00a0ft (4,007\u00a0m), Nevada’s high point. Boundary Peak is the “prow” of the triangular fault block. It has views directly down into valleys to the west, north and east that are hidden by the increasing width of the high plateau to the south. North of Boundary Peak the range rapidly loses altitude and ends at Montgomery Pass.<\/p>\n

The west face of the White Mountains rises steeply out of Owens Valley. Climbing to any summit from this direction is a scramble with about 8,000\u00a0ft (2,400\u00a0m) elevation gain. Eastern slopes are somewhat gentler and have numerous cirques left by Pleistoceneglaciers and even a few snowfields persisting through most summers. Most of these cirques are entered or approached by jeep roads and offer scenic yet non-technical routes to the crest.[\/vc_column_text]
