Day One...I've stayed at the clipped gate and at Grandview. Grandview is the way to go. You will sleep better there and you will have the ability to cook a nice meal. Think steak and lobster, asparagus, red wine, beer...that was our last trip up to White but we are old and decadent.
As mentioned previously, there are camping restrictions in Ancient Bristlecone Forest, which Schulman Grove is a part of.
Call White Mountain RS for the low down.
Day Two...The only recommendations I have for Bishop are dinner at Whiskey Creek and breakfast at Jack's.
Day Three...We always use Whitney Portal as our intermediate stop when heading north because there is nothing that I know better further north.
Day Four...I haven't stayed in Lone Pine for 10 years. For food, The Pizza Factory and Bonanza are consistently good.
