Mt Whitney Zone Forums Reference Older Trail Conditions - Mt Whitney Trail, 2021

I have a question… it’s forecast to snow Mon/Tue and I’m planning on hiking Thursday should I expect to use chains going up to the portal.

I will be renting a mini SUV with 4WD/AWD so maybe I will be fine or not. Secondly, I’m bring micro spikes and crampons with ice axe or should I use snowshoes at the the higher elevations. Also will this be sufficient for the 99 switchbacks and up to the summit.

Any information or advice are appreciated

Best Regards,
Mike
