Miles Morgan trekked to the foothills of Mount Whitney in California to get this stormy image. It is the tallest peak in the U.S. state, topping out at 6,100 feet. It was entered into the open landscape category.
Uh, yeah, just a minor mistake here. Mt Whitney is NOT just 6,100 ft. Is is actually almost 14,500 ft tall. I've been there many times.
And it is the tallest in the contiguous 48 states. Alaska has taller mountains.
Maybe the photographer was at 6,100 elevation?
Yeah, I’ve been to the top of California’s Mt. Whitney twice when it was 14,496 feet high. New satellite technology actually shows it to be 14,505 feet high, making it the highest mountain in the lower 48 states.
