I have been on a couple big day hikes, and a couple overnight. I camped overnight at Mt. San Jacinto. I've Hiked Mt. Baldy, Baden-Powell, Mt. Timber, Mt. Wilson.

I did get lost once or twice while on the trail, losing the trail in the snow...but ended up ok.

I asked this 71 year old lady who hiked Mt. Whitney if I should hike a 2 or 3 nighter first, and she said, no do a 6 nighter. This lady went to Mt. Whitney the other year. So that is what really inspired me to do a 6 nighter.

Fitness wise, I'm good...I'm really in shape. I'm just worried about getting lost honestly.

I was thinking I'd get a good electronic GPS in addition to having my smart phone and get some APP for directions, and carry a map as well.
