Thanks Steve-

The kids are ages 14-35 years old.

Your correct about Yosemite we drove out to California in 08 and one of the stops was Yosemite which was amazing.

In my heart, I want to have them hike Whitney but I just think too many things can go wrong for 1st timers.

We have an open schedule the 1st week of June. In years past, when does that White Mountain road open? Im wondering if the weekend of the 4th of July might be better?

Grandsons 4 and 7 might be along. My wife plus the grandsons wont hike but you mentioned a zoo? Suggestions for fun stuff for them to do on the day we hike would be great.

Thank you
Jeff
