Lost the Lottery

Well, I didn't win the lottery permit to hike Mt. Whitney for this summer. I will have to try again next year. Plan B is to go to Colorado and practice on a couple of 14,000 footers there. It's probably better this way considering both my friends that agreed to hike with me have never hiked a mountain before.

Mt. Whitney is the highest peak in the lower 48 states. 

Elevation is at 14,505 feet.
