Visalia Times Delta - Day assault on Mount Whitney - www.visaliatimesdelta.com:
At 14,496 feet tall, Mount Whitney is the highest mountain in the lower 48 states. To conquer it, you must survive a brutal 22-mile hike, climbing more than 6,000 feet in elevation — 11 miles up, 11 miles down — in some of the thinnest air around.
