Just one of a few things to check out up in Whitney Portal. Found in the northern part of Whitney portal, this fall is something worth checking out if you’re in the area. Water flows almost year around during normal snow/rain seasons but can be dry during droughts. This picture was taken during the late season. Come here during fall to enjoy it with fall colors, sadly, I couldn’t find my picture of it.
Whitney Portal is also the beginning of the famous Mt. Whitney Hike. If you do come here, swing by the Whitney Portal store. They are known for their gigantic pancakes for the hikers looking for a quick and delicious refueling after a grueling hike. Carb lover can just get the pancake without the hike.
How to get here? From Lone Pine, CA, turn on to Whitney Portal road and head west till the very end. If you’re not heading towards the mountain, you’re going east.
