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.

Hiking

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.

Mountain biking

Probably the highest mountain in California, maybe North America, that is accessible by bike. The last two switchbacks of the service road have very rough rocks on steep terrain, so most bikers would probably just do this part downhill or walk the last 200 yards. The reward is a sweeping 360 degrees view of the Eastern Sierra.
