> Hi all--
> My husband and I are planning to hike section F over Mt. Whitney at the
> end of next week and are wondering if anyone knows what snow conditions
> are like. I know the snow has been melting pretty fast and to be honest
> I'm more concerned about the heat at Walker Pass as well as water
> availability, but having spoken to some people who have recently passed
> through Tioga Pass where there is apparently still quite a bit of snow I
> got to thinking that it might still be pretty deep over Mt. Whitney where
> we plan to come out. A while back someone posted some websites for the
> area but that was only moderately helpful. So, has anyone done this
> section recently and or have info on Mt. Whitney?
