Hey Ernie, Dawgs by 12 in the latest betting line. No upset here - unless Tech wins. Jeez, this year couldn't be THAT bad, could it?

Mike, the Harrison Mt. Whitney Zone trail map is nice to have for study and perusal of the Main Trail beforehand. Once you're on the trail, though - at least in non-winter conditions - you'll most likely find you don't need it. The trail is quite obvious, with the exception of a couple of short, slabby areas where things might appear a bit fuzzy. Even in mild-to-moderate winter conditions there's typically an obvious path beaten in the snow.

An area map, though, is one of the Ten Essentials, so you should have one on you. In reality, you just follow the crowd . . .
