Mt. Whitney Mule Pack
If you've wanted to climb Mt. Whitney, but don't want to carry a heavy backpack, join us on this week-long trek with pack animal support.
This trip is only for experienced campers and hikers in excellent shape who have trained at altitude.
This 7-day trip covers about 58 miles in five hiking days. We'll walk
through some of the most dramatic, beautiful scenery in the High
Sierra.
Our route goes through Sequoia National Park and
follows the Pacific Crest Trail and the John Muir Trail. The climax
of our trip is the summit of Mt. Whitney. At 14,495', it's the highest
point in the continental United States.
