Well, at around 14,500 feet, Mt Whitney<\/a> is not technically<\/i> the highest mountain in the United States, however it is the highest in the lower 48 states. If you have browsed this site at all, you will have seen on my inspiration<\/a> page I say that “nothing helps your inspiration more than getting outside, breathing some fresh air, planting your feet firmly on the ground, and being amazed by nature.” As an avid hiker who has now climbed Mt Whitney, I can certainly attest to that.<\/p>\n

I want to share with you my experience of successfully day hiking Mount Whitney<\/b> about a month ago. It was an amazing and exhausting experience, and the scenery was breathtaking and certainly inspiring. The entire hike was around 22 miles with an overall elevation gain of over 6000 feet, and took about 18 hours, which included breaks to eat and rest. <\/p>\n

Last year I didn’t quite summit, however this year I did. This photo is what it looks like at the summit.<\/p>\n
