    I didn't think that there was too much of a need to add this but it seems that I was wrong (location).

    San Bernardino National Forest trail information

    White Mountain is a trail of moderate difficulty that a 4x4 truck with decent tires should be able to navigate. No obstacle is terribly difficult but there are lots of tough rocks of which a few demand careful tire placement. For much of the trail the brush is very tight or there is a steep cliff to one (or both sides) which may make it very fun to deal with opposing traffic. It would be wise to stop your vehicle at an open spot when you get a chance and take a quick look to see if any other trucks are heading your way. For my first trip on this route I was a passenger (for once) and just got to enjoy the scenery a little more than I usually do. I also had a great chance to take more photos than normal. I couldn't resist taking my own truck out here though and came back about a year later. Enjoy the photos and videos and look for all of them here!

    Where are you? The only White Mountain I know of is in New Hampshire. This doesn’t look like NH.

    Not in the White Mtns in Inyo NF east of Bishop, this one is in San Bernardino NF near Big Bear.


    There is probably a White Mountain in every state, there are at least 2 in California.

    What’s lame is a community with secrets and judging someone on being new that’s lame but whatever sure I’ll find my own spots with good people

    If you paid attention the forest road number is in the title of the videos and the lat/lon is on screen the whole time. But attitude is a big part of who people chose to wheel with, if you instantly get angry when people make a comment that you don't like it will limit your available participants.

    There are many white mountains, then there are The White Mountains.

    I'm super biased with zero justification to the NH ones lol.

    I mean we have rocky mountains. But not The Rockies.


    But hey, that's a great excuse to travel right? See what each area has to share.

    Google seems to support your opinion, the ones in NH are “White Mountains” the ones in CA are “White Mountains (California)”. But the set in CA have the US highest drivable road so they got that going for them.
