Mt. Whitney From Cottonwood Lakes

One of the infamous "windows", a site of death and rescue. Consultation Lake can be seen on the right.

"The Windows"

Mt. Whitney Trip from Cottonwood Lakes Trailhead. June 2000.

After a bit I came upon the famous "windows" that featured marvelous views down into Lone Pine and Whitney Portal. I stood on the "sill" of the "window" and pointed my camera downward to capture the view.

The broad summit of Mt. Whitney as seen from the trail.

View does not really convey the magnitude of the scenery that was spread out before me like a vast map.
