A roughly 6.7-kilometer trail maintained by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the W.A. White route threads through terrain that is reported to offer access to two notable junctions in the High Peaks Wilderness. Red disks mark the initial segment to the White/Hedgehog junction, where the blazes shift to yellow for the continuation toward Wolf Jaws Notch. The trail is understood to serve primarily as a connector route, linking lower elevations with the col between the Wolf Jaws peaks.
W.A. White Trail runs 4.2 miles (6.7 km) with about 2,992 feet of elevation gain — a demanding hike, with a sustained climb, about 3 h 30 min on the trail. NYSDEC maintains the route.
