Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion What To Eat?

I always bring too much food. Next time I'm going a bit lighter. I like Cliff Bars. Also, just lots of water and electrolytes. I drink Vitalyte. When I go back down though, the spring at Outpost Camp tastes really, really good! As far as food though, I can't do nuts, candy or GU. I can't even do my usual PB and J or honey. Believe it or not, my favorite on Whitney is a turkey on Wheat with a little mayo. The sandwich stays good as it's cold when you leave at 2 or 3 A.M. By the time you get to Trail Camp, you need to rest and eat something good. I don't see any reason why you can't make the salmon, relish, mayo, onion, pita delight the night before the hike. Keep it in a cooler in the bear box. If I know it's there though, I'm going for it :-)
Good luck.....Joe
