“The culminating peak of the Sierra” was discovered in 1864, by a California Geological Survey team, and named “Mt. Whitney” after the teams leader, Josiah Whitney. A member of the survey team, Clarence King, attempted to climb Whitney twice during their trip but was not successful .The first ascent was made by three local fishermen, Charley Begole, Johnny Lucas, and Al Johnson. These three friends reached the summit at noon on August 18, 1873.

Residents of the Owens Valley wanted to name the mountain “Fisherman’s Peak” to pay homage to the first summiteers. When this name was challenged they proposed the name “Dome of Inyo”. Finally a bill which would make “Fisherman’s Peak” the official name was introduced in the State Legislature. The Governor ended up vetoing the bill, and so today the original name stands: Mount Whitney.

John Muir made his first ascent of Whitney on October 21, 1873. Muir was the first person to climb Whitney from the east via what is today known as the Mountaineers Route. He had attempted to summit via the southwest, as those before him, but had retreated to Independence after a cold night out, returning to summit by this new route.

Later, the Mt Whitney Trail was made. People also had the idea to construct a hut. And in 1909, the hut was also built. As more people came, more accommodations were made. In 1935, the Whitney Portal Road was made so that cars can drive up from Lone Pine. Public campgrounds, picnic areas, a store, a tract of summer homes, a pond, and a potable water system were all built in the 30s. And since, many people have hiked and it has barely changed since.

Like I said in my paragraph above, Mt Whitney is 14,505 feet.

At the summit, Mount Whitney is 20 degrees Fahrenheit. That could be really cold.
