6. Wildrose Peak
Location: Death Valley National Park, California
Elevation: 9,064 ft / 2,762 m
Wildrose Peak ranks 6th on our list of easiest mountains to climb in USA. It is on the very border with the Death Valley, but don’t let it intimidate you. You don’t have to go to extremes to get a good sneak peek at the valley. Instead of climbing Telescope Peak, opt for Wildrose and do the 4.2-mile trail (one-way). You’ll need around three hours for it. Plus, the peak is open all year round, though some small precautions are needed in summer and winter.
