Can there be anything more grand than the magnificent mountains?! And we are fortunate in California to have one of the grandest mountain ranges, the Sierra Nevadas. Its grandest and tallest peak is the tallest in the contiguous 48 states, Mt. Whitney, and it rises to 14,505 feet.
Taken from one of the 99 switchbacks on the way to Mt. Whitney. If you look closely you can see two of the switchbacks below. A crooked path, indeed. But what a view from the top! Grand!!
