White Pine-The Loop is a 1.8-mile easy hike in the Pinedale Ranger District of Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming, managed by the Forest Service. The trail rises about 240 feet from a starting point near 8,488 feet to a high of about 8,582 feet, with the steepest stretch at roughly 13% grade around 0.5 miles in. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the nearby Pinedale weather station run to highs around 80°F in July with lows near 43°F, though that station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the loop run cooler. Tree Loop, a cross-country ski route, lies about 0.3 miles away, and White Pine-Power Line is about 0.4 miles off. Climbers can head to North Buttress, about 1.5 miles away, and Pine Creek offers canoeing about 1.8 miles from the trail.
