Third highest peak in California at 14'252 feet (4344 m). It's California's easiest peak above 14'000 as cars can drive a gravel road to the trailhead at 11,680 ft elevation. Also the rest of the way to the top is on a mostly gradual, wide gravel road, also used by occasional mountain bikers. Only the last few hundred yards to the summit the road becomes steep and rocky, but easily walked by most hikers.

Very beautiful and isolated mountain peak in the White Mountains. The view of the Sierra Nevada and towards Death Valley is great. The climb is not particularly difficult, there are no climbing sections or anything similar. However, due to the length of the tour and the altitude, it should not be underestimated.
