dizzying ascent to road’s end.

The White Mountains soar to the

east, and the dramatic Owens

Valley spreads below.

2 Whitney Portal

At 14,505ft, the celestial

granite giant of Mt

Whitney (www.fs.usda.

gov/inyo) stands as the

loftiest peak in the Lower

48 and the obsession

of thousands of high-

country hikers every

summer. Desperately

coveted permits

(assigned by advance

lottery) are your only

passport to the summit,

though drop-in day-

trippers can swan up the

mountain as far as Lone

Pine Lake – about 6 miles

round-trip – to kick up

some dust on the iconic

Whitney Trail. Near

the trailhead, stop by

j

Yosemite,

Sequoia & Kings

Canyon National Parks

In Lee Vining, go west on

Hwy 120 to enter Yosemite

National Park via the 9945ft

Tioga Pass.

Springs, a western access

point to the desiccated

landscapes of Death Valley.
