Tags: Mountain Range.

The White Mountains of California and Nevada are a triangular fault block mountain range facing the Sierra Nevada across the upper Owens Valley. They extend for approximately 60 mi (97 km) as a greatly elevated plateau about 20 mi (32 km) wide on the south narrowing to a point at the north with elevations generally increasing south to north. The range’s broad southern end is near the community of Big Pine where Westgard Pass and Deep Springs Valley separate it from the Inyo Mountains.
