Under construction at the moment. Sorry for any inconvenience.
An all hand held photo tour of the Mt. Whitney Trail with a point and shoot camera. Most shots were taken above the 13,000ft elevation at around sunset for those that have not made that far up yet and would like to summit the tallest Mountain in the US besides Alaska. If your looking for the nice stuff I usually shoot my favortie shot from the trip is on page 5 sorry I left my heavy SLR in the trunk on purpose. Little Lakes Valley is on page 6 Its a very easy hike compared to Whitney.

Mile 1 of the 22 mile round trip. Sunlight at the very beginning of the trail at around 5:45 am. Trail climbs some switchbacks at the very beginning. - Page 1
One of many Stream crossings.
The wilderness boundary is not very far from the trailhead.
With no wind it gets hot pretty fast.
Balance beams - These lush cool areas on the trail are refreshing but are a heaven for mesquitos
Nearing Outpost Camp
A waterfall at Outpost Camp 10,000ft elevation
Outpost Camp 10,000ft elevation with many sites. One of two camping areas on trail.
Mirror Lake just past outpost camp.
The Last Tree at around 10,500 ft. That means no more shade for the rest of the 4,000ft ahead unless your right next to the mountain.
