Her son, a 33-year-old New York City man, had gone hiking in the Adirondack Mountains that March morning. Now, with up to 19 inches of snow forecast overnight and into the morning, she was worried. The same woman had called three weeks earlier because her son was late, and it turned out he was fine. Cellphones with GPS service have lowered the number of people who truly get lost in the woods. Ranger Peter Evans said one man called last summer seeking water.

In 2022, I scaled Mount Marcy, the highest peak in New York State, with my son. Some Google searching revealed that Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the lower 48, was not out of reach for amateurs like us. Hiking had brought exhilarating new challenges and triumphs — and Mount Whitney promised those on a much greater scale. We’d been told to expect a lot of snow higher up, but we didn’t expect any this low. It would take me forever — and we didn’t have forever.
