Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Similar day hikes to Whitney?

There is another day hike I think is worth mentioning. If you're really up to something extreme, then try Forester Pass. Start at Roads End in Kings Canyon NP at 5060 and make a steady climb for 21 miles to the pass at 13200 feet. If you want, you can climb up to one of the peaks that it passes by. But by the time you get there, you probably won't feel like it. The total round trip distance of 42 miles is pushing it, and to do it in a day without needing a permit you'll have to start around midnight.
