  White Mountains (California) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The White Mountains of California are a small mountain range that runs along the eastern side of the upper Owens Valley, just across from the Sierra Nevada.
The highest point is White Mountain Peak, which at 14,252 feet (4344 m) [1] is the third-highest in California.
Ecologically, the White Mountains are like the other ranges in the Basin and Range Province; they are dry, with relatively few trees, but the upper slopes hold open forests of mainly Great Basin bristlecone pine with some Limber pine and Lodgepole pine, and of Single-leaf pinyon and Utah juniper on the middle slopes.
