This 21.7 mile round-trip journey involves 6,600 feet of elevation gain and typically takes between 12 and 16 hours to complete as a day hike. You will learn how to navigate the trail from Whitney Portal, manage the 99 switchbacks, and handle the high altitude challenges above 12,000 feet. Success on this trail depends on understanding the logistics and seasonal risks. I cover the permitting process, including the February lottery and cancellation options, as well as the necessity of using wag bags above the tree line. We also look at the different sections of the hike, from the gradual climb to Outpost Camp to the narrow traverses along the windows near the summit. Safety is the priority when hiking at these elevations. You will learn about the symptoms of altitude sickness, lightning risks at the summit, and why having a solid pace plan is essential. Whether you are planning a single day push or a multi-day backpacking trip to Trail Camp, this guide provides the practical framework you need to reach the Smithsonian Hut and get back down safely.
