White Mountain is the highest point in the Salmon River Mountains and is one of the easiest peaks in the range to access. The peak has nearly 4,000 feet of prominence. The official name “White Mountain” is found on a subsidiary summit east of the peak’s true summit. Peakbagger.com refers to the high point (i.e., the West Summit) as “White Mountain West.” There is a pending request to officially move the name White Mountain to this summit. USGS Twin Peaks
