Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Whitney Main Trail Conditions 2014 (Out-of-Date)

I wouldn't take anyone Whitney as their first hike. Then again, I'd be reluctant to even bring an experienced hiker unless I've personally hiked with them. This is under 'ideal'conditions, not in May when there could be lots of snow.

I may be in the minority though. Last month I met two girls on Skyline Trail in Palm Springs. One of them had never hiked before.
