Whitney Wonder

A great adventure, making it to the top of Mount Whitney, the highest summit in the contiguous United States with an elevation of 14,505 feet. It is on the boundary between California's Inyo and Tulare counties.

It's been a long day, time to dream of summits & sunsets
 
“To reach beyond what you are you must ignore the rules and fashions of the day. Or perhaps better yet cast them way out in your peripheral vision where you can still see them but only as a vague reference point. This doesn’t mean that all the rules are gone. It might mean that you adopt a far tighter code of conduct to ensure the necessary level of intensity and adventure.” ― Peter Croft
