Here's a 12-minute slide show with video (with good music) showing two guys' bicycle and hike from Badwater to the Mt Whitney Summit.

The lowest point in the North America, Death Valley, is about 140 miles from the highest point in the lower 48 states, Mt. Whitney. My grade school friend and I set forth to go the distance under our own power. Two days on a bike and a full 22 mile hike on day three was grueling but rewarding. The scenery transitions are awesome.
