There are few things in life more rewarding than to immerse yourself in nature and realize just how small you are compared to your surroundings.
Each moment in our lives must be appreciated fully-- from daybreak to day's end! So, with that, we leave you with this beautiful picture of the sunrise from the trail to the top of Mt. Whitney, overlooking the eastern Sierra and Owen's Valley.
At 14,505 feet, Mt. Whitney is the highest summit in the contiguous United States- and it's located just 100 miles from Mammoth!
The 22-mile hike can take anywhere from 12-16 hours and guides you along the untouched beauty of Lone Pine Creek and Inyo National Forest. Permits are required to make the climb, but boy is it a climb to make!
Not everyone can make the trek, but it sure seems the views are worth it. Have a great weekend, mountain lovers!
