Definitely worth a rest stop at this point as beyond the landscape becomes much harsher. And on the return from Whitney it is something of an oasis - a chance to shelter in the shade and soothe tired feet. Mount Whitney zone.

Trees are very nice but it is good to get into the mountains. This is looking towards The Miter from near Sky Blue Lake.

Well perhaps not quite, but the tree on the left does look a bit as if it is trying to surround the one on the right.
