Whitehorse Mountains

The Whitehorse Mountains are a rugged and remote mountain range located in northern California. Stretching over 40 miles, the range features steep, rocky peaks and deep glacial valleys carved by ancient glaciers. The terrain is predominantly alpine, with vast areas of granite and volcanic rock rising to elevations over 12,000 feet. Numerous lakes and tarns dot the landscape, fed by seasonal snowmelt and glacial runoff. The climate is generally cool and dry, with short summers and long, snowy winters. The Whitehorse Mountains offer a true wilderness experience, with limited trails and infrastructure compared to more popular Sierra Nevada destinations.
