The jagged cliffs of Mount Whitney rise above turquoise alpine lakes on the eastern Sierra Nevada crest. At 14,505 feet (4,421 m), Mount Whitney is the highest peak in the contiguous United States. This dramatic landscape, sculpted by glaciers and uplifted granite, lies within California’s Inyo National Forest. Photo courtesy of caleb-jack on Unsplash.
