Day 7: 8/12/20
Start time: 6:50 A.M.
Finish time: 7:00 P.M.
Total time: 12 hours 10 minutes
Mile Marker: 163.3
Miles Hiked Today: 24.8
My goal since I've started has been to hike more than the 22 miles a day minimum where I can. The intent being to shorten my final day up Whitney. One it will be nice to end on a "light" day, and two it should better sync my schedule to the day hikers who I hope will take pity and give me a lift into Lone Pine.
So far planning on the fly one day at a time has worked. Last night I realized I was going to have to do both Mathers and Pincho Pass in the same day to make my miles. Thankfully it was a gorgeous day with a blue bird sky, but hiking both passes today made for some exhausting hiking.
