Mount Whitney...

...who's in??? =)

I have some time before I submit names and select a date for the lottery, but I thought I give you guys some links to check out to decide if you're in for the challenge...or a party pooper ;).

Inyo National Forest website - good overview
Trail map with mileage and elevation change chart
Pictures of what's in store from someone's Whitney trip

Training Trails Sites:
Mt. Lukens in L.A.
Comprehensive site with a suggested trail training program

We want to pick a date in the summer sometime and I need to submit our application by February 15. We'll need to camp in the area the night before and probably the night we get back from the hike as well. So, you'll need to plan on a few days to devote to this...plus lots of great training hikes!! Start getting in shape now!! =)
