Mount Whitney Trail

Scenic hiking trail on Mt. Whitney.

Reviewed By Susie1028 - San Diego, United States

Summiting Mt Whitney is on every hiker’s bucket list. At 14,505 feet, it’s the highest point in the lower 48. The hike to get there on the main Whitney Trail is 22 miles with 6,000 feet of elevation gain. You can day hike it or backpack it, but you will need a permit (lottery May 1-November 1, self issued otherwise). It is a clear and established trail, though additional skills and equipment are necessary for safe travel when snow and ice are present. The trail is usually relatively snow-free from late June to mid-October. You can hike as far as Lone Pine Lake (about 2.7 miles each way) without a permit.

Mobius Arch Loop Trailhead

Reviewed By 535mikeg - Aptos, United States

This is a short (.6m) loop that takes you to three very photogenic arches. There is a slight elevation drop and gain- not much.

Mt. Whitney Golf Club

Reviewed By Mohomamma

The course is fun with great women’s tees...really makes playing with my husband competitive..haha! Small greens are challenging and the fairways are a bit rough and it makes me feel like I’m playing golf in the good ole days...like before I even started playing! The clubhouse has been totally remodeled and is a terrific place to host a birthday party, an anniversary or even a down home wedding (there are some good local caterers). My husband and I threw a Cinco de Mayo party and celebrated our 40th with a band, yummy food and fun friends???? But really it’s the people that keep us coming back...you don’t get em more real...
