White Mountain is a mountain in the northern part of Yosemite National Park. White Mountain is near both Mount Conness and Ragged Peak.[2] It is the 18th highest mountain within the park's boundaries.[3]

White Mountain should not be confused with two other similarly named peaks in California: False White Mountain,[4] also in Yosemite, and White Mountain Peak, in the White Mountains of Inyo County and the third-highest mountain in California.
