A gate and a parking area with a restroom indicate the end of the White Mountain Road up to which the public can drive. From here it is less than a mile walk on the gravel road to the UC research station, and another 3 miles to the summit. It's mostly gradual, except for the last half mile to the summit, where the road becomes steep and rocky.

Starting point for White Mountain Peak at an altitude of around 3,550 m. The journey there is not easy, it is about 15 miles (about 24 km) along gravel roads, so off-road tires and a car with ground clearance are a good idea. Overnight stays are permitted in the parking lot.
