Mount Whitney (for sunrise!) and Mt Muir class 3/4 scramble (CA 14ers)

7/4 and 7/5/21. Normally I've done Mount Whitney as a day hike, but I was testing out backpacking gear in preparation for the John Muir Trail 4 weeks later. This trail never disappoints, and this time I wanted to bag Mt Muir as well -- fun little scramble! Whitney itself, up the standard way, is 22 miles total, but we dropped near Guitar Lake which obviously added mileage and vertical gain.
