I am planning to hike Whitney with my teen daughter in late July or early August, but unfortunately, we did not win lottery. While I am planning to get walk-up permits, I am also looking into going up from west, most likely horseshoe meadows, or kearsarge. Which path from west is the easiest? Does anyone have GPS map track (e.g., caltopo) I can consult? I summited Whitney in '17 though chute but have no plan to push hard this time.
