On the road to the Mt Whitney Trailhead campground from Lone Pine |

The next morning, a leisurely departure. Erin, a member of a hiking group, was going to a different area and campsite |
 |
 |
The only waterfall on the way - about half a meter high |
 |
 |
In the distance and below the road that comes up from Lone Pine and leads to the Mt Whitney Trailhead campground |
 |
 |
 |
Some logs to balance on or get your hiking boots and socks wet |
 |

At the tree-line. Beyond that (behind me in this view), only rocks and on occasion, small plants. |
