Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Things to do...after the mountain

So here is my plan...

I am staying at the Portal on June 25th and 26th, hiking the mountain from the 27th-29th, and then sleeping at the Portal or nearby on the 29th.

I do not have to be back in Boston untill July 5th. Any recommendations on what to do, where to go. Money is an issue so I would like to keep costs down. This will be my first trip to California.

Any suggestions?
