One day hike to Mount Whitney (14,496 ft, 4,418 m) - a distance of 21 mi (33.8 km) with elevation gain ~6400 ft (1,951 m). All 12 of us who started the hike finished it with ascending time ranging from 5.5 to 8.5 hrs. We began at 2:20 a.m. and last person returned from the trail at 6:20 p.m. Temperatures at night were in the 50s F, in 40s at the summit and up to low 80s in the afternoon in trail's lower half. There were a few drops of rain and a distant sounds of thunder. Photos by: Witold Ki, Damian, Krysia & Adam.
