Mt. Whitney, the Privy on High is no More!

[Kevin Rooney]

Trail camp is the last designated campsite from the Portal side before the summit, no? When we went there, we passed the solar privies that were there but closed, this was in 2006. Have they been removed? They looked like they were almost brand new when we were there...

Jay - that's the one someone burned down this spring. Just a couple of charred boards remained the last time I was up in June. Planning to hike it this Wednesday - will make a note to see if there's anything different.

Rik - The USFS rangers at the VC in Lone Pine provide accurate info on WAG bags, as well they should as the Whitney Zone is in their jurisdiction. It's rangers at other locations (both USFS and USPS) where people obtain permits that you hear conflicting info re: WAG bag requirements.
