I took a little ride to the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. Ended up in the Alabama Hills at the base of Mt. Whitney. A great rock formation called the Mobius Arch framed the peak just right. 14000 feet of pure granite.

Very cool pic.

Whitney is on my to-do list. Hope to get up there next year.

In case you have trouble getting reservations, we have 50+ 14ers here, and you don't need to sign up to climb them.

Great photo, OP! I love the way it captures the contrasting shapes and colors of the different rock.

50+ peaks? You are either in Colorado or Nepal. 😁

Took this yesterday: Teton Range in Wyoming, through a man-made "arch."

As a teenager I was fortunate to be in a Boy Scout troop which was heavily into backpacking. Among many other trips to the Sierras, we climbed Mt Whitney from the back side from Onion Valley, 40+ miles over about a week picking off 3 or 4 other peaks along the way. Absolutely glorious country.

I think Whitney's popularity is due to it's accessibility. That and the fact that it is the tallest peak in the lower 48.
