[pct-l] Whitney Portal to Horseshoe Meadows

[leo-spencer at comcast.net (leo-spencer@comcast.net)]

Hi,
I am solo hiking from the Horseshoe Meadows Trailhead, over Cottonwood Pass to Crabtree, up Whitney and will exit at Whitney Portal. I am leaving my car at the Horseshoe trailhead and have not yet figured out the best way to get from Whitney Portal back to Horseshoe.  Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Since one of my friends lost their food, I am more in favor of bear cans than I was, The idea here is that the forrest service is trying to make it a safer experience for all of us. The rules are for our benifit, not because they want to Lord over you rules to take away your fun. With that said....

about carrying guns and weight... If other carried guns and made the 
bears scared of humans, then thru-hikers and ultra-lighters would not 
have to carry guns or cans. 

peace,
dude
