The Whitney Portal

from $13.99
There’s something about the eastern Sierra that doesn’t ask for your attention—it demands it. This view of Mount Whitney, caught from the roadside near Lone Pine, showcases the staggering contrast between the high desert scrub and the sawtoothed summit of the tallest peak in the Lower 48. What begins as dry brush and rocky foothills soon gives way to frozen ridgelines, each one etched with the kind of defiance only a mountain can muster. It’s a scene of ascent—geological and metaphorical. Sometimes the best views are a little unexpected. And sometimes, they’re just waiting by the shoulder of the road.
