I drove up to the Mount Whitney Portal from my campsite at the Tuttle Creek Campground just to check it out. It was crowded at 10:30am on a Sunday morning but I was able to find a parking spot in the climbers parking lot. I talked to some people returning from the trailhead and discovered that several had just taken short hikes of less than a couple miles and were marveling at the views, so I decided I would do the same. I started off without my trekking poles because I was only planning on going a short distance to take some photos. Once I got going, it felt good because I hadn't done any serious hiking in over a week. However, after reaching the creek crossing at the North Fork Pine Creek, I decided not to risk stumbling across the steppingstones without trekking poles so turned around. |
