We're doing a day hike up the MT on Sunday and I'm trying to settle on the best plan for acclimation hikes.
We're staying in Lone Pine, and arrive Thursday. How does this sound?:
Thursday afternoon - Portal to Lone Pine Lake, 5.5mi round trip
Friday - Either Kearsage Pass or Cottonwood Lakes (both 9.5mi)
Saturday - Cottonwood Pass (7.5mi)
Does this seem like too much / too little?
For the Friday, we were thinking that should be the longest hike, but not sure which to do. Kearsage starts lower and ends higher, so I'm worried that might be overkill in terms of altitude gain (since these are not for training, they're for acclimation).
