Book Description
Mount Whitney draws nearly 30,000 visitors each year. A good portion of them climb to its top via the Mount Whitney Trail. But there are less-crowded trails to the summit that traverse some of the most stunning terrian imaginable. This hiking guide is the definitive, most complete resource-not just to the Mount Whitney Trail, but to those others as well.
Excellent, well-researched route descriptions and planning information make this guide an exceptional resource. A section on what to expect covers weather, high-altitude problems, hydration, and the wildlife you might encounter along the way. Trip-planning tips, plus information on wilderness permits and regulations, thoroughly prepare hikers for any kind of outing, from a one-day ascent to a week-long backpack to a night climb.
