Can a mountain spend millions of years hiding underground before it ever sees the sky? 🏔️✨

In our Sequoia National Park series finale, we go 14,505 feet up to the peak of Mount Whitney, the highest point in the lower 48 states!

Discover how ancient heat, tectonic plates, and ice-age glaciers worked to reveal this massive mountain. Along the way, we’ll learn why the top of the mountain is exploding in slow motion and hear the funny true story of the three local fishermen who beat a team of famous scientists to the summit!

Thank you to Michael Morris; Cornell Lab of O​rnithology | Macaulay Library for providing us with our park sound today.

🎒Scout mission included! Experience our fun mission thats great for trips or the backyard with your family.
