Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board Hanggliding off the ^SUMMIT^

Has anyone ever done this? Has a helicopter ever landed on top?

Helicopters have landed on the summit, usually for Search and Rescue purposes. I don't think it is legal for the general population to land on the summit just for the heck of it though, there's probably a federal statute on that somewhere.

I'm not sure either if the general public is allowed to land a helicopter on the summit. They might be, but then again they might not be. I'm kinda leaning towards they might not be. I hope this helps.

It might be of no help at all, but I'll keep posting anyway.

I hope this answers your question.

Thanks, Bob, for the great picture. No narrative needed; the picture says it all.

You must have hundreds of great pictures that you've collected over the years. Have you ever thought of compiling them into a book?
