After 40 years I made my second trip to Mt. Whitney with my son who as making his first.

great weather, great trip for the most part.

A couple of negative observations:

Trail Camp is the filthiest backpack campground I have seen in 50 years of backpacking. We hauled out as much extra trash as we could fit into our backpacks. What is wrong with backpackers nowadays.

Main activity on the peak was calling friends on cell phones. Such is wilderness today, sigh...
