White Mountain Peak
White Mountain Peak, Inyo National Forest

As part of my training for Mount Whitney, I decided to do a day hike of White Mountain Peak. I left after work on Friday June 21, 2002 and made the 5 hour trip to the Grandview Campground. Camping is allowed at the trailhead, as I had originally planned, but at 11:30 at night, I was ready to stop.

The Grandview Campground is sparse on amenities. Just a restroom and no water, but it's free. My kind of price.
