Below is a zoom in shot of Mt Whitney's expansive summit taken on June 30, 2007. As you can see, the summit is made
up of a massive pile of large flat granite stones. As you scroll up and down you will be able to clearly see the circled people
heading for the summit and those that are congregating around the small stone hut. See the our Mt Whitney Summit section
for a closer look of this area. If you are interested see Timberline Trails Main Aerial Section for more Aerial Images, and a
description of the plane that we use for our Aerial Photographs.
