The summit view from Mount Whitney in California

The view from Mount Whitney

The view from the summit of Mount Whitney in July 2023. It is the high point of California, and it was my first state high point. It was around 49 at mid morning, under a cloudy sky, with almost no wind.

The Sierra drops away in every direction from that summit, a long granite skyline. I had come up from Lone Pine two days earlier, and this was the top.
