The tall peak in the background is Whitney Peak, the tallest peak in the lower 48.

Actually the tall peak in the background is Lone Pine peak, it is really in the foreground. Whitney is the thickest of the few pillars to the left that looks low, it's way in background.

Many people make this error.
That peak is also in about 75% of Western movies going back to the start of film!

Ha! Thanks. I was wondering why it looked so unimpressive.  :smt044

Star Trek..the Gorn ?

Good write up D

I’m not much of a Trekkie. Was there a Star Trek episode filmed there?

Thanks! I got a bunch of Insta 360 video footage, too, but it takes forever to edit since I'm learning the software as I go.

Wait, how in the heck is this thing mounted?   :smt005 Video is killer and it's cool to see the speed and elevation, nice work!
