Mt Whitney Zone Forums Trip Reports Day hike attempt Oct. 7th on Whitney trail

We all had microspikes, but there was so much snow, we didn't need them. One of the guys had them on from the start, but it was easier for him to walk without them, so he took them off. We didn't have snowshoes. The wind started kicking up around Trailside Meadows and it was pretty cold. Check out the trail in a couple of my photos; it's really hard to spot!
