Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Lodging help before/after hike for proper acclimatization

I would spend the night at Horseshoe Meadow 7-17. Do a moderate hike around Cottonwood Lakes on 7-18 and then drive to your campsite. Tag the summit on 7-19. That basically confirms that you were already on the right track. I’ve never stayed in or south of Lone Pine, so I don’t know where you should spend the night after your climb.
