Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board Peaks North of Mt. Whitney and a List of 100 Peaks

All of us long-timers on this board have seen plenty of photos taken from Whitney’s summit. But I don’t recall an annotated photo showing most of the peaks looking north from Mt. Whitney. I’ve taken the liberty to annotate a photo looking north, from 322 degrees True North (TN) to 15 degrees TN, or 309 degrees Magnetic North (MN) to 2 degrees MN. I even included Forester Pass’ location, which is mentioned often on this site. It is below and to the left of the T-marking at the top of the photo for 330 degrees TN.
Here is a small version here:

You can see much more detail here.
You may also view a digital map which shows many of the mountains north of Whitney from west to east here.
If you are handy with a compass, here is a list of 100 peaks you can see from the top of Mt. Whitney:

I recommend picking at least one mountain you are not sure about where it is as viewed from the top, and use your compass to pick it out.
Have fun with your compass!

Very impressive Wayne. Thanks for taking the time to post this. I've seen the landscape from the summit of Whitney many times and I learned a lot by looking at this annotated photo. Very well done!!!

AWESOME! THANX for sharing your invaluable work. I always enjoy standing atop of peak and trying to name the peaks around me... Im usually wrong, so your pix are fabu!

Awesome sauce! Love it.
