Mt. Whitney. Tim's route takes him up the large couloir on the right side of the photo.
We drove through the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, and Death Valley to get here. Nevada was not what I expected, as it was full of mountains. Death Valley was amazing, with lots of mountains, very dry, and very remote. We stayed most of the time at 8000 feet to escape the heat (100'F / 37-38'C in the shade at valley bottom), and climbed Telescope peak (11,049 ft / 3,368 meters), which had fantastic views of the salt flats below and layer upon layer of mountain ranges and wide valleys.

Golfer on the salt formations!
Lowest point in the western Hemisphere

That shot of the "salt formation golf" reminded me of a course set up in a pasture in Western Oklahoma!
