Mt Whitney Zone Forums Thread Like Summary - Aug 3 Day Hike

Hi all,

I’m attempting to get to the summit for the 4th time this coming Monday, 8/3. I’m doing this as a day hike, but spending some time in Mammoth prior to Monday. Would love to know if anyone else is going this day as it’s just me.

Also curious, any tips on what snacks you bring on the trail? I’ve turned around due to altitude issues before and in my opinion, not properly fueling on the way up.

Hoping that with hiking 2-3 times a week this summer and staying at higher elevation beforehand helps this time...haha 4th time’s the charm?

Hi Katie, Was curious if your fourth try was a charm. I spent all day cleaning my yard up after the hurricane and am almost as tired as I was on my Mt. Whitney hikes. Let us know your attempt went.
