Ah.  I missed the "as the crow flies" part.  Sorry.

Chuckie -- the website for the Badwater Ultra Marathon (from the bottom to the top) says it's 135 miles from Badwater to Whitney Portal; the summit of Whitney is another 11 miles up the Whitney Portal Trail.

I have heard that it is around 80 miles also.  there are at least two 
foot races from death valley to the whitney portal.  i beleive they are 
advertized as 135 miles, but measured on roads, of course.
