Mount Whitney, the highest mountain in the lower forty-eight states, is one of the West's ultimate climbing and hiking destinations. In addition to the popular climb to the top via the Mount Whitney Trail, there are also less-crowded trails to the summit that traverse some of the most stunning terrain 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.
