Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Day Hiking Whitney Mountaineer's Route ?

Hi, thank you for all your helpful information to my post. It's relieving to know that others have done the MR as a day hike.

We will probably try to do this in the month of August or September. Do I need mountaineering shoes or can I just wear my trailrunners which I used for my day hikes on the regular Whitney trail.

Thank you again! I will make notes on all the info you provide.
