6/ Day two began on the west rim of the Kern river canyon. The trail drops down, crosses the river, then follows it up 9 miles before climbing out the other side up to Crabtree meadow.Overcast, non-photogenic day, but forecast showers didn’t transpire and I appreciated lower temps. Rewarded with some sunset glow on the eastern crest before the night hike up Mt Whitney.#SierraNevada #Mountains #California #Hiking
