We took Lance, Gail, Zach, and Amber to Mt. Whitney this weekend. Unfortunately the road was closed due to snow so we couldn't go all the way up there but we did get to see the base of the mountain. There was a stream way down a hill and Zach and Lance hiked down to investigate. It was interesting seeing them come back up-we were at around 8000 feet elevation and they weren't used to it! There's a picture of Lance trying to get some air. We got some nice pictures and then went to have lunch in Lone Pine - a small town at the base of the mountains. We also briefly explored some rocks in Alabama Hills in between the base of the mountain and the town. Many movies and TV shows were filmed there. Lone Ranger and many other westerns, Tremors, Gladiator, and most recently Ironman were all filmed there. We visited the film museum and then ate at the Pizza Factory (very yummy pizzas!).
