5.8 miles of hiking • 1500' elevation gain •
Hiked to Lone Pine Lake as our last acclimation hike prior to hiking to the summit of Mt. Whitney on July 3rd.
This hike also allowed us to familiarize ourselves with the first 2.5 miles of the Mt. Whitney Trail. Permits are only required after Lone Pine Lake.
We started up the trail around 3:30pm, returning to Whitney Portal at about 6pm.
