Women's Hike to White Mountain Peak

Difficulty Rating: EXTREME

This hike wraps up our Big Mountain Series!!!

This week we're setting out to White Mountain Peak, wrapping up our Big Mountain Series with a 14er! The climb steadily gains elevation, moving through alpine terrain, rocky ridgelines, and high desert landscapes, testing both endurance and mental grit at extreme altitude.

This is a mandatory overnight trip.

We’ll drive up the day before to camp at the trailhead to acclimate to the high elevation. Access requires an AWD SUV with a mandatory spare tire to reach the trailhead safely. Carpooling options may be available.

Reaching the summit marks the pinnacle of our Big Mountain Series, perfect for you to push yourself to the limit and celebrate completing the full series with serious high-altitude mountain strength.
