Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Looking for another hike than Whitney

Hello,

My name is Frederic and I am new to the forum.
I live in Colorado but have to travel to LA in the next weeks/months. I immediately thought of extending my stay and going to Mt Whitney. However, the permits are so challenging to get that I am starting to consider other trails to hike.
Would anyone recommend an area to hike that would be beautiful like Mt Whitney trail but easier to access ?

Thank you in advance
