A view southward from the top of Mt. Whitney. It was hard getting the photo without people getting in the way. Here is some history about the shelter from Wikipedia.

"Residents of Lone Pine financed the first trail to the summit, engineered by Gustave Marsh, and completed on July 22, 1904. Just four days later, the new trail enabled the first recorded death on Whitney. Having hiked the trail, U.S. Bureau of Fisheries employee Bryd Surby was struck and killed by lightning while eating lunch on the exposed summit. In response to this event, Marsh began work on the stone hut that would become the Smithsonian Institution Shelter, and completed it in 1909."

Damn. That's beautiful. I've always wanted to stay in a cabin.

It was spectacular to be up there. That cabin you would not want to stay in though. It is a lightning drawing cabin and there are warning signs to stay away during storms lol.

So did you just go up to see the cabin or to see the mountain? (You don't have to answer if you don't want to)

Summiting Mt. Whitney was our goal after 7 days of backpacking in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The cabin was just part of being on the summit :)
