White Mountains

Proposed Wilderness Area

The White Mountains are America's largest and highest desert mountain range and contain the largest expanse of alpine tundra in western North America and the second largest unprotected Roadless Area in the lower 48 states. The Whites are home to the world’s oldest living trees, the ancient bristlecone pines, which live to almost 5,000 years. With its large size and tremendous diversity of unique and beautiful habitats, the Whites are world-renowned for scientific research and are home to desert bighorn sheep, pronghorn antelope and other mountain and desert wildlife and plants.
