Mt. Whitney From Cottonwood Lakes

The summit of Mt. Whitney! Finally!

Mt. Whitney!

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

The trail swept around to the right from the use trail and a short walk brought the summit into view.

The last few feet of trail, and its time for a summit party! Chagoopa Plateau can be seen mid picture.

As I approached the hut my spirits soared and I threw my arms up in victory. After all this time, it was a piece of cake!
