    "...The 11-mile Mount Whitney Trail(class 1) is the easiest and most

    popular route to the summit and is often done as a strenuous

    22-mile day hike.During the summer and autumn months

    only sneakers are necessary to ascend this summit from the

    Whitney !ortal trailhead at #$% feet ho&e'er earlier in the

    season an ice ae and crampons may e re*uired. Many

    people &ill appreciate taking t&o days to do this hike spending

    a night at +utpost ,amp or Trail ,amp...."
