Hello all,

I am planning my first Whitney Trail hike, and have found a lot of great information on these forums. I tried to search for this answer but was unsuccessful, so I apologize if this has been covered in a previous thread...

If I am unable to get a permit for Whitney this year on dates that work for me, what are the next best, alternate peaks in the area with a hike-able trail to the summit? It would be great if there’s something approaching Whitney’s height, with a hike that is no more strenuous or technical than Whitney.

Thank you in advance.
