Planning for Mount Whitney can get overwhelming fast. Between permits, route decisions, altitude, campsites, and packing, there's a lot to sort through before you ever step on trail.
This guide is built to make that process simpler. Inside, you'll find a clear, practical breakdown of the standard Mount Whitney route, including what to expect from Whitney Portal to the summit and back. It covers the key planning decisions most hikers need to make, without turning into a mountaineering manual or burying you in unnecessary detail.
Paired with it, you'll get the full 30 Day Hike Ready Challenge, my training plan built around fixed distances and your own pace, so you're not just planning the tallest mountain in the lower 48, you're actually physically ready for it. By day 30, you've trained up to a 10 mile day.
You'll also get free lifetime access to Trail Sessions, my hiking club, so you're never doing this alone. Bonus pre-hike checklist and warm up guide included.
