White Mountain Trail

Trail Overview

This forest road is dirt-based with some rock and gravel in sections. If you travel the entire trail, it is more than 10 miles long and leads you to the edge/border of the Colville National Forest and the Colville Reservation. Do not enter the reservation land without permission. This trail is narrow in most places with areas to pass, and has switchbacks with ledges and drop-offs. Some sections are rocky, there are a couple of mud holes, ruts and wash under a foot, and tight trees and overgrown vegetation. The trail goes past the parking lot for the White Mountain hiking trail head, and there are some split-off roads in this area. A portion of this trail is through old burned area, and you can expect to have to clear downed trees. When you make it to the end, there is a dispersed campsite with a pre-existing fire ring, and camping is allowed along this entire trail. At the end of the trail, you will have one of the best views in the area, overlooking the reservation land for miles with panoramic views of the surrounding ridges and peaks, as well as White Mountain itself. Cell phone service is weak, so an offline map and a satellite communication device are recommended. There are no amenities along the trail, and you are over an hour from the nearest services and supplies, so travel prepared. Any vehicle could travel this trail.
