I recently went on a trip to Mount Whitney with some friends from high school. We spent a few days in California camping and hiking. We had permits for the single day ascent of the mountain, but I ran out of water and didn't make it to the top. Three of my friends made it all the way. The trip is something I will probably try again, hopefully next year. The scenery is amazing for the entire hike and the light during alpenglow is beautiful. The black and white photos were taken on a day hike to Lone Pine Lake and the color images are during the attempted ascent. Let me know what you think.

Nice variety. Hard lesson about water, but coming from the flats and going up high without water can turn into a bad experience (worse if you keep going). There are other locations in the area (not as high) which have streams and rivers from which you can filter water (with a filter like Sawyer mini). Smart choice on turning back. Running out of water on the flats is bad, in the mountains much worse, not just from exertion but due to altitude effect over 10,000 ft.
