Mt. Whitney

Here are some photos toke when we were above 12'000 feet on the way to Mt. Whitney peak. Just want to show what it looks like ih high elevation.

Part of the infamous "99 switchbacks" from Trail Camp to Crest Trail. The tent on the top to the right is in Trail Camp:


From JMT junction to Summit:
Look forward, all rocks:


Look backward, more rocks:


Look East, the valley where Lone Pine is:


Look West, the West side of Sequoia NP. Hard to believe:


This photos may be better:


One the summit:
The plate showing the elevation of the peak:


View from summit:


The path in the photo is the drive way from Lone Pine to Whitney Portal, where the trailhead is.


More view from summit:
