    With an elevation of 4,421 meters, Mount Whitney is the highest point in the United States. The summit is the southern end of the famous John Muir Trail.
    At the summit is the Mount Whitney Summit Shelter, a granite shelter built in 1909. It has three rooms and was built as a refuge for hikers from storms, but also to house scientists studying altitude. It is the site of Charles Greeley Abbot's spectroscopic observations of Mars to test whether or not the planet had water.
