So who else is going up on the 4th? Wouldn't it be nice to know quite a few of you when passing or being passed in my case!

I am Kevin from Phoenix and I will have my Son Carey with me.

Congrats on getting a permit for the 4th of July!

Should I add you to the Mt. Whitney Hiking Dates calendar?

And I saw your post asking about a high elevation campground...

Horseshoe Meadows! 10,000 ft, no reservations, nice flat camping areas. Water supply etc. Good acclimatization area.

Thats perfect, do they have a limit or are you always guaranteed a spot?

Well, I won't be on the trail on the 4th or 5th, but I'll be arriving at the Portal on the 5th for a couple days of R&R, acclimation, and fun before our day hike on the 7th.


One day I'd like to hike the entire John Muir Trail and not leave a single footprint. -Randy Morgenson
