White Mountain Peak: Bicycles can be used to approach White Mountain Peak, a major California fourteener.

Montgomery Peak: From Boundary Peak in Nevada, craggy Mount Montgomery rises higher, just across the California border to the south.

Boundary Peak: Boundary Peak in the White Mountains lives up to the name of its range as late as June in some years, although the snow is rarely very deep in the driest high mountains in the United States.

Mount Grant: A good road leads the summit pinnacle of Mount Grant, Nevada, accessible only when the Army opens the base to climbers.
