Folks,

Some of you have seen my other post trying to hike Mt. Whitney on Oct 16. But based on feedback I am dumping that idea (ice/snow) and will try my luck for unused day hike permits on a Saturday in mid to late Sep.

If I don't get lucky with the permit on my chosen Saturday, I want to pre-decide on an alternate peak in the vicinity so as not to waste the long drive. I am thinking about 1 of these 3:
- White Mt
- Split Mt.
- Telescope Peak (in Death Valley)

How would you guys rate these in terms of hike quality and view? Feel free to use your own interpretation of "hike quality and view".

Thanks,
T2n
