The Eastern Sierra from Lone Pine

The Eastern Sierra from Lone Pine, California, in July 2023, two days before I climbed Mount Whitney. It was a hot, clear afternoon, around 96, with almost no wind down in the valley.

Lone Pine sits in the Owens Valley, and the Sierra rises in a sudden wall behind it, with Whitney somewhere up in that skyline. I took this from town, looking at the range I was about to walk into.
