California's third-highest peak at 14,252 feet on a 15-mile dirt-road hike with no technical difficulty, the White Mountain Peak hike. Altitude's the challenge.
There’s some basic camping and fire pits to the right of the trailhead.
Eventually White Mountain Peak will come into view, and you only have a few miles to the trailhead.

Keep your eyes open for wildlife. I saw dozens of mule dear and even a wild horse. The horse, named Campito the Wild Horse, was a first for me here and even has it’s own Facebook page .
The first section of the drive into the park is paved until you get to Schulman Grove Visitor Center. There are a ton of overlooks as you drive up to the trailhead at 11680 feet.
