Spotting Mount Whitney from Below

Reg Spittle Leave a comment

The USA’s tallest point rises slightly right of center, set back from peaks that look taller from below. My wife Sue snapped this view of Mount Whitney on March 11 from our site in the rustic Portuguese Joe Campground, just off the Whitney Portal Road west of Lone Pine, California. I had a lump in my throat as I gazed up and recalled my Whitney summitting in August 2021 with fellow hikers on the John Muir Trail. Whitney and the JMT are the greatest trekking accomplishments of my nearly 70 years. What’s next?

RVing, Hiking and Biking Across America

When I am not wearing a backpack, I am often behind the wheel of a Ford F-150, towing our Winnebago Micro Minnie (my Mom’s name was Minnie).

Click on the photo to see Sue’s short YouTube video from our adventure across America earlier in 2021. We took our hiking boots and hybrid bikes along, discovering great trails in many of the 19 states we visited. Several of the best trails are pictured, with locations. Each campground is also shown, with locations. Just in case you are in the area.

While you are on Sue’s YouTube site, you can check out her shows from our treks, including our recent John Muir Trail adventure.
