モノ郡の絶景の山頂・トップ18

Mount Dana sits at 13,061 ft and is a tough but epic run with insane 360° views at the top. It’s only 2.9 miles, but you’ll gain 3,100 feet—so get ready to climb. The last stretch is a loose scree field, so watch your footing. No water, unpredictable weather, and high elevation make it extra challenging. Start early, bring plenty of water, and pace yourself, it’s a grind, but the views are worth it!

Here the trail crosses into the White Mountain Wilderness. Before that, the trail is not within the nature reserve.

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.

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.

At 13,061 feet in elevation, Mount Dana is the second-highest peak in Yosemite. From the summit, you will get 360-degree views of Mono Lake and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The final 1000 feet requires hiking across a scree field, so caution and steady footing is a must.

you need to know that this is quite challenging , climbing from 11,000 feet at the start to 14,200 feet over six and a half miles of rough, rocky terrain which is often very cold and windy with no shelter, being totally above treeline. DSC 04/27/2024

The way up to the peak of White Mountain is a challenging one, due to the elevation gain and length. However, the 360 degree view from the top is worth the effort. The road up is also rideable on a bike, so there is a chance you may share the road with cyclists, so make sure you watch out for other trail users.

Mono Pass is like a divide in between two worlds. On the western slope of the Sierras, the alpine environments are lush. On the eastern slope, look to Mono Lake and the desert Mono Valley.
