Mt. Whitney 2012


Setting up camp.





 Still ice on the water at sunrise.


Taking a short break after hiking all night.





On the summit! 14,500 ft.  The tallest point in the lower 48 states.


I'm really proud of everyone who went on this trip.  Part of our group did not reach the summit, but we still had a great time.  This is a very strenuous hike, to put it in perspective, imagine waking up at midnight and walking from WUHS to River Park as you go up the Empire State Building 5 times and back down.  It was quite an accomplishment for these students.
