Whitney Trail Panoramas

These panoramas were captured while hiking the trail to Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the 48 contiguous states.
Twenty-five of these pictures were taken 2006-07-16. That was my 37th time up Mount Whitney and the 31st year in a row I've made at least one dayhike up Mount Whitney. The arrival of a humid air mass at the same time I reached the summit kept me from getting clear 360 degree pans from the summit. Rain and snow began before we got down to Trail Crest. Thunder began as we descended the swithbacks.

This image is a cut of the previous picture, along the horizon, and reduced slightly to about 20000x600. It is high contrast. The original size of this cut was 70 Megabytes as a tiff file. It has bearings marked and peak names. See the Whitney Portal Store Message Board discussion of Whitney's 100 Peaks to See for the #'s on the peaks and other associated data.

If you enjoy peak spotting like this, check the high contrast Last Chance Mountain panoramas in the Death Valley Panoramas Gallery! Last Chance Peak lies between Waucoba Mtn and Mt Inyo from Whitney. The humid air on the day of this picture leaves no clear view of Last Chance from Whitney, but the February air of the Last Chance Peak photos shows the Sierra crest clearly over the top of the Inyo Mountains. there is also a version with 77 peaks marked.
