Hiking Mount Whitney in 1 DAY! | The Highest Mountain in the Lower 48

Our first attempt at hiking Mount Whitney - the highest mountain in the lower 48; standing at 14,505 ft. Starting at 4:15 am, we took 9 hours to reach the summit, 1 hour at the top to admire the views, and 5 hours to get back to the trailhead. 6500 ft elevation gain, 66,000 steps, 16 hours. It was the hardest hike we've ever done, but sooo worth it! Thanks for joining us on our grand journey!

Huge congratulations on making it to the top. That looked absolutely brutal, especially with all the added walking, back and forth to the camera. I appreciate all the effort you put into making the video. Well done!
