Mt Whitney Zone Forums Trip Reports HST - Day 1 - Crescent Meadows to Bearpaw Meadows, June 17

Shuttling to and inside the park, as well as the heat, slowed us down a bit, but we had a good day. We had originally planned to hike fewer miles on Day 1, but most of campsite before Bearpaw were taken. Clicking on an image below will bring you to a webpage with a detailed trip report and more photos.

Day 1 of 6 highlights of our High Sierra Trail trek to Mt. Whitney:
