A 15-day, 146 mile-long, strenuous wilderness trail in the California’s High Sierra named after our most celebrated naturalist. It is considered the most beautiful long-distance trail in the world, with an unsurpassed panorama of 13,000-14,000-foot peaks, countless lakes, wildflower-covered meadows and huge granite walls. The trail ends with the climb of Mount Whitney at 14,495’. It is a tough and demanding trip over rugged terrain and lots of elevation changes. Mostly hiked by backpackers, special arrangements can be made for a mule-supported trip. August is the best month for this trip.
