We will start the hike from the same parking lot going counterclockwise to do the loop.

This route features canyon views, wooded climbs, and a well-marked trail.
With the White Rock Mountain Loop, you will see typical desert plants like the cholla cactus lining the trail. On the mountain's west side, hidden from the Scenic Drive, is a hidden forest of juniper and pinyon pine. It's a great contrast to the barren east side.

Safety is the first priority of our hikes. Therefore, all hikers in our group, including another leader who joins us, will stay behind the leader. The sweeper will be last in line.

Group Hiking: Stay with the group behind the leader. If you don’t want to stay with us, you can always go hiking on your own, though it’s not recommended.
