YOUJ: Consider camping at Outpost Camp. Read the report from GraceDavis -- that is what she did. It works, and makes the backpack easier than going to Trail Camp, and it makes your day hike a lot easier than going up from Whitney Portal. There shouldn't be any snow at Outpost.

Good luck!


Very little snow at sunrise 10/10, and even less that afternoon on the way back. The campers I spoke to only complained about the cold night. Lots of space now to camp out there.
