Day 2: to Big Hamilton Lake (7.8 miles)
Day 3: (ouch!): to Big Arroyo Junction (5.9 miles)
Day 4: to Kern Hot Spring (14.3 miles)

Day 7: to Whitney Portal with side trip up Mt. Whitney (15.6 miles)

The mileage and campsites are approximates and can be adjusted [possibly more on Day 3]. Friday night party at the Dow Villa in Lone Pine. Shuttle back to our cars on Saturday. The approxiamte shuttle fees are: Whitney Portal to Lone Pine is $15 pp, and Lone Pine to Crescant Meadows is $30 pp. Check out these great web sites for info on the trip: http://www.nps.gov/seki/hst.htm or www.gentleye.com/camping/trips/trHST.html.
