MOUNT WHITNEY

Mt Whitney, perhaps our favorite location because of our Colorado/Norwegian roots. If you have not visited Lone Pine, Alabama Hills and the mountain itself we strongly recommend you add it to the list of must see. The summit is the tallest point in the contiguous United States and sunrise from the Alabama Hills will take your breath away. If you aren't in any shape to summit, Lone Pine Lake is a great goal for a day hike up and back.

Set alongside the Autry Garden, the California Road Trip room is a destination for rest and inspiration. Through the panoramic and close-up dual projection film, visitors are invited to discover California’s most scenic and varied landscapes and biomes. Sights include: the extreme desert climate of Death Valley, the lowest point in North America; the idyllic ocean bluffs of Big Sur and the central coastline, an exemplary feature of California's topography; the starry skies of Joshua Tree; the majestic giants of the California Redwoods, the tallest trees in the world; and the supreme elevation and jagged granite faces of Mt. Whitney, unforgivingly the highest summit in the contiguous United States, reaching 14,505 feet into the clouds.
