July 11, 2020. I got a last minute cancellation day hike permit on the 9th. My second Whitney summit. Drove 4.5 hours in the wee hours to the trailhead and started hiking at 7 am. Summited at 12:40 pm and got back to the trailhead at 5:30 pm. Two small patches of snow on the trail and a lot of flowing water on the trail. Beautiful day! Camped at the walk up campsite afterwards and had a black bear try to rummage around everyone’s bear lockers.
