I checked the distance from Road's End trailhead near Cedar Grove and it's only 39 miles to the summit via Forester pass. So 50 miles total to the Whitney Portal. The drive I also checked and it's indeed 6 hours (sure is a lot to get from two points that are only 24 miles apart as the crow flys, lol).
What we've done is have my brother's wife drop us off at Roads End and then pick us up at the Portal, so we don't have to go back to Roads End. I live in the Bay Area so I dropped my car off in a parking lot in Bakersfield where they picked me up coming from SoCal.
