About This Trail

Imported description

The views of the Sierras and White Mountain are amazing. It is a short 6 miler and has little elevation gain at altitude. It involves some off- trail scrambling and a peak with some of the best views in the White Mountains. You have to hike a bit off- trail to get to the summit of White Mountain and the Sierras. You only have to travel about a mile off the main trail to get to the top.
