Itinerary description
This is a LONNNGGG hike!! 22 miles, with 6300' elevation gain. The trail leads up and up and up and up, until you finally reach the peak of Mt Whitney at an elevation of 14,495'!! (And then of course you must take the lonnnngggg walk back to your car.) I recommend adding 'gatorade powder' to your camelbak or water bottle. This helped me maintain my energy. Also, you should read several books about hiking Mt Whitney before you attempt this hike. This hike can be dangerous! (It's too bad that my GPS gadget didn't correctly record our route, but it's close enough that you can figure it out.)
