Our attempt to complete the Lowest to Highest route ended just 800 feet from the summit of Mount Whitney, but what an adventure it was! From climbing snowy chutes to battling elevation sickness, we learned invaluable skills for future snowy mountain treks. While we didn’t reach the very top this time, we’re proud of how far we made it. | Thruhikers

The next part of our Lowest to Highest walk from Death Valley to Mount Whitney has been incredible! Along the way, we explored Joshua trees and historic mines, feasted on pine nuts, and relaxed at stunning campsites. Now, we’re heading to Lone Pine to gear up for snowy conditions before attempting the summit of Whitney | Thruhikers
