Hi, my friend and I summited Whitney 8/17, hiking for 18.5 hours on a day permit. It was grueling and we were both wondering to ourselves why people would ever want to do this hike as we were crawling our way down.
Now, my body is very sore and bruised from a bad fall I had coming down from Trailside Meadows to Mirror Lake. I was just wondering if anyone has good advice on how to recover from this hike especially a long strenuous day hike. What did you find most effective for your body?
It was a wonderful and memorable adventure. I just wish I wasn't so sore and bruised.
