One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sunrise while on the top of Mt. Whiney. I was backpacking the Trans Sierra trail and ended up spending my last night of the journey on the peak of Whitney. I woke at around 5am just in time to watch the sunrise over the Owens Valley. It was the most breathtaking and spiritual experience of my life.
