Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board High Sierra Trail conditions

I'm doing the HST fm Lodgepole to the portal starting the 19th, and I was wondering if any one has either done it yet this year, or if anyone has been as far as Crabtree fm the portal. I hear the trail is good through Kaweah Gap, but I'm not finding much info on the east side. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Have not been on it this year but from yesterdays hi-rez satellite image the snow is GONE!

Have a good hike!

flew directly over the east side of the HST on friday...it's really dry. granted it's a 30,000' view (pun intended)

A group of HST'ers were in the WPS on Friday. I asked about snow... they said it exists, but was not a problem.
