...they aren't the highest point in the "Lower 48".
This descriptor always makes me wonder: Where are the "Higher 2"?
I guess Alaska is big enough for two. When talking about Whitney to non outdoorsy friends I always tell them - Mount Whitney is the HIGHEST point in America; except for some stuff they have in Alaska.
Also, I agree with the OP - Trail Camp is a dump. There is a big rock there that I have used as a meeting point for those who want to dash ahead coming down the switch backs and just as a general rest spot since it's easy to find. Last time I was there leaning against it I realized that it doubles as a restroom. Bummer, since it's VERY close to the water......................................................................DUG
