A Pack Trail on Mt. Whitney. 

 The following from the Monthly Weather Review of Sep- 

 tember, 1904, is of interest to the members of the Sierra Club. 

 Under date of August i, 1904, Professor McAdie writes : — 



I am anxious to expose a minimum thermometer on the 

 summit of Mt. Whitney, so that the lowest temperature during 

 the coming winter at this great elevation may be obtained. It 

 will be remembered that some experiments were made in the 

 winters of 1897-98 and 1898-99 at Mt. Lyell, elevation 13,040 

 feet. The minimum temperatures recorded during the two 

 seasons were respectively — 25.3° C. and — 27.6° C. These 

 were not the lowest temperatures recorded elsewhere in Cali- 

 fornia during those winters. 



It is thought we should make every effort to utilize the op- 

 portunity for study of atmospheric conditions in these high 

 levels in view of the importance of the data in connection with 

 new theories of formation and structure of cyclones and anti- 

 cyclones. 



I inclose copy of a letter received from Mr. G. F. Marsh, 

 Lone Pine, Cal., relative to the completion of a pack trail 

 to the summit of Mt. Whitney. This is a matter of some im- 

 portance, as it will now be possible during July and August to 

 send supplies to the summit of Mt. Whitney, elevation 14.S1S 

 feet, and so far as known the highest point in the United 

 States, excluding Alaska.
