Trans-Sierra trek to Whitney

Hi everyone, I'm new to posting on this forum, but a friend who views this forum regularly suggested I put something up. We're trying to get the word out about a handful of trans-sierra treks we are organizing this summer. They are all based off the same hike that Mike Murphy, a 5th grade teacher in Clovis, has taken students and community members on every year for the last 25+ years. Some of you may know Mike.

The trip had a huge impact on me when I first did it in the early 90s, and I think it has an incredibly positive impact on just about everyone it touches. The goal this year is to extend that experience to touch more people / extend the opportunity for kids and families to do something challenging, rewarding and inspiring over the summer.

Actually, by the time you get to Whitney, you will have done considerably more elevation gain than 14,000+ feet.

Big Meadow isn't in either park, by the way. It's in a wilderness area in a national forest.
