The Mt. Whitney Trail is easily the most beaten path in the Sierras, and perhaps the most popular trail in the United States. If you are jonesing for a solitary backcountry experience, look elsewhere. The convenience and novelty of this hike along with the explosion of outdoor sports in the '90s have all combined to transform what was once a remarkable wilderness journey into a lug-soled circus. The path to the highest point in the Lower 48 attracts Lycra-clad tourists from around the globe, who jump at the opportunity to drive a well-paved road all the way up to the trailhead at 8,361 feet, then bag the 14,494 feet, which sits in Sequoia Kings Canyon National Park. As many as 300 people a day begin the tramp up this famous 11-mile trail. The nutcases among them are actually intent on completing the round trip in a 24-hour period. Some make it, most don't.

Highlights: Overnight permits are $3 each plus $1 per person.
