My overnight for 1 was unsuccessful. Most my dates were for Saturdays in July and August, which I knew were longshots. But I did have 2 Saturdays and 2 Sundays in late May that I figured would win if all else failed, guess not.

I day hiked Whitney in May on a weekend about 10 years ago and don't think I saw more than about 30 people total on the mountain. Also in the previous year day hiked in June in a heavy snow year and only saw some 30ish people.

Have things changed so much from 10 years ago to today?
