White Mountain Peak, Mountain summit in Sierra Nevada, California, US.
White Mountain Peak reaches an elevation of 4,344 meters and consists primarily of sedimentary rock formations within the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
Indigenous peoples established settlements at elevations between 3,150 and 3,850 meters around White Mountain Peak during prehistoric periods.
The University of California maintains a research station at the summit since 1955, conducting studies on high-altitude physiology and environmental patterns.
Visitors need to complete a 23-kilometer round trip with 1,000 meters elevation gain, starting from the trailhead accessible via California Route 168.
The mountain slopes contain ancient Bristlecone pine trees that survive in extreme conditions at high altitudes throughout the seasons.
