It's been six and a half years since I did this roadtrip that looped the state. Here was one of the last camping spots of that trip. Before the sun rise I made my way over to Mobius Arch to get that one shot I always wanted with the arch rock framing Mt. Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous 48 states. Many make the mistake of thinking Lone Pine Peak to the left here is Mt. Whitney but they are sadly mistaken because from the Alabama Hills it looks higher, it's definitely not and the laws of perspective/distance tricks the uninformed because Lone Pine peak is closer and in the foreground compared to the actual Mt. Whiney which stands a good four miles further back as displayed here in my photo with it's serrated edge leading up to the summit. I've summited several mountains but summiting Mount Whitney is still high on my bucket list, but in order for me to do it at my age I would have to start training now for a summer 2027 attempt hoping I get on the lottery for the hard to get wilderness trail permit. Regardless it is always a beautiful place to photograph and explore the nature below it.

A little cotton top cactus in Alabama Hills, just west of Lone Pine, California. Mount Whitney can be seen in the distance, glowing with the day's first light.

It's #RockinTuesday. Here's a shot from about 2 years ago. The image shows #MobiusArch, a natural rock formation located in the #AlabamaHills near #LonePine,California. The arch is a popular subject for #photographers because it frames #MountWhitney and the #SierraNevada mountains in the background
