PICS Mt. Whitney
We just finished a 3-day/2-night to summit Mt. Whitney. It was my second time and had a blast. The multi-day trip is much better, giving you more time to enjoy the gorgeous scenery. Highly recommended over a day hike rush.
Also stayed by Consultation Lake which is way nicer than Trail Camp!

What route did you do? Where did you camp? Mileage/elevation per day?
