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!

Moody Mt. Whitney

The dramatic east face of Mt. Whitney (14505 ft / 4421 m) rises over 2000 feet from this rocky valley that used to contain a glacier. For nearly an hour I watched those clouds race across the face from left to right. A little while later, lightning and thunder moved in, followed by rain and grauple hail. Made it back to the tent, just in time.
