Climbing Mt Whitney In a Day | June 2024

Mount Whitney is one of the most popular, in demand, and challenging hikes in the United States. Mount Whitney, which stands 14,505 feet in elevation, is located in the Eastern Sierra Mountain Range, about 30 minutes outside of Lone Pine, California. From Whitney Portal, the hike is 21.5 miles round trip with 6,663 feet of elevation gain. I choose to hike the entire trail in one day and took the 99 switchback route.
