    Hiking

    University of California research station at about 12000 ft elevation, the highest year-round habitable scientific station in the system. Accommodation, food and services for researchers only, no public access or services. Still good to know people are usually here in case of an emergency.

    Hiking

    Along an elevation gradient exceeding 10,000’ (3000 m) in the White Mountains of eastern California, White Mountain Research Center (WMRC) comprises three field stations and a research hut on the summit of White Mountain Peak. WMRC is a national laboratory open to qualified researchers and students who need access to facilities at high altitude or in the eastern Sierra regions. The Summit Lab (14,242) atop White Mountain Peak is opened by special arrangement in the summer.
    More Info: ioes.ucla.edu/wmrc
    The highest University of California research station is not open to the public, but it is helpful to know in case of an emergency that there are probably people and communication options right along the trail just a couple of miles before the peak.
