I spent the night on the Summit of Whitney 14,505' the highest point in the lower 48 US. In the morning I woke up to this spectacular night sky which was turning into the morning sunrise. It was a windless night in the Eastern Sierra, and it was one of the coolest sights I have ever witnessed, especially given the history of this region and the rich National Park scenery seen from above!
