If you've been searching for the best source of information and stimulating discussion related to Spring/Summer/Fall backpacking, hiking and camping in the Sierra Nevada...look no further!
Ah, yes, I wasn't sure if that is what you meant. I had originally thought about contouring around myself, but I wanted to get to Guitar before dark. Actually, it was quite pleasant zoning out and just following the trail. In fact, the trail is so little used, it's almost like a use trail. I didn't see anyone until the ranger @ the RS. (I took the old trail and crossed the creek further up to join the JMT.)
There was a guy at Crabtree Pass who was planning on going over Whitney Pass.
I guess technically one can get to Whitney via Langley, Arc Pass or other ridge top routes. Way beyond my pay grade. LOL
