Okay, now for photos. So as not to be redundant, I am leaving out classic "Whitney Views" photos and photos of the snowfields on the switchbacks, etc.
First, here are some photos from our acclimatization hikes.
This is Ruby Lake, accessible from the Mosquito Flat Trailhead, on the way to Mono Pass.
This is a view climbing up to Morgan Pass, accessible from the same trailhead.

Now, onto Whitney. We were treated to some Alpenglow on our first morning at Trail Camp.
Lots of flowers on the switchbacks.

Smoke in Owens Valley, but we didn't really notice it when we got down there.
