Mt. Whitney, California

Mighty Mt. Whitney...at 14,505 feet (4421 m), it's the highest peak in the lower 48! And after four trips up into this area, I'm still ready to go back for more!

Mountaineer's Moon, Adieu

It was just dumb luck that I scheduled my climb for when this scene unfolded...with the nearly full moon descending into "the notch" on Mt. Whitney. And lucky too, that I was still in camp and noticed what the moon was doing. Very fun morning in the Sierra!
