At an elevation of 14,505 feet, Mount Whitney is the tallest mountain in California AND the tallest peak in the Lower 48. Beyond the physical superlatives, hiking the Mount Whitney Trail is a beautiful experience in and of itself, and you don’t need any technical expertise if you tackle the main trail during the summer months.

This hike is in July of 2018 and with great weather just like the previous year. Starting from the campground in Whitney Portal, this hike concluded with successfully reaching the summit and enjoying the great view there.
