http://calihike.blogspot.com/2013/07/days-976-978-mineral-king-franklin.html

1. Days 976 - 978: Mineral King Loop Sequoia National Park - California

30.25 Miles +/- 8375 Feet

Mineral King may have been the hardest excursion I attempted, and accomplished, in my 1000 Day adventure. The physical requirements were challenging, but going this one all alone required intense mental stamina. Along the way you will pass more than a half dozen lakes. You will trek beyond the comfort of others. If you are looking for an escape to isolation, to test your will and courage, this journey is a must!

Days 998 - 1001: Mount Whitney

2. Days 998 - 1001: Mount Whitney

Lone Pine - California

25 Miles +/- 7000 Feet

Climbing the Highest Peak in the Contiguous United States. Above 13,000 Feet I did get dizzy but with my team, we reached the summit! It took me exactly 1000 days to prepare for this moment; it was well worth it!
