Mt Whitney from Whitney Portal Road.

At 14,495 ft, Mt Whitney is the highest peak in the lower 48 states.

Lone Pine Peak

The Alabama Hills are dwarfed by the massive granite peaks of the Eastern Sierra.

An approaching storm begins to obscure the mountains in fog and snow flurries.

Soon our view of the Sierra would completely vanish.

Luckily, there was just enough time in between storms to capture some great pictures!

Nicole takes our little snowman for a walk... he didn't get to far!

Perfect ending to a perfect day!
