I think the Mount Whitney trail is a solid choice for late June. We completed it last season and found the conditions manageable if you start before dawn. The switchbacks are strenuous but the panoramic views make the effort worthwhile. I would recommend bringing trekking poles and at least three liters of water per person. The altitude affects everyone differently so pacing yourself is important. We camped at the trailhead the night before which helped with acclimatization. Let me know if you want to borrow my gear or need recommendations for nearby lodging. I have a detailed itinerary that worked well for our group of four. The permit process was straightforward but you need to apply early because slots fill quickly. Overall it is a rewarding climb that tests your endurance but delivers an unforgettable experience.
I also looked into the weather patterns for that window and historically it has been stable with afternoon thunderstorms possible. Starting early helps you avoid the worst of the weather and the crowds. The trail is well maintained but some sections near the top require careful footing especially if there is lingering snow. Microspikes were helpful for us in a few shaded patches. You should also budget time for rest breaks because the oxygen level drops noticeably above twelve thousand feet. I am happy to share my packing list if that would help. Just let me know what details you still need.

I tried that new pasta recipe you mentioned and made a few adjustments that really improved the texture. Instead of standard flour I used semolina and added a bit more egg yolk than the recipe called for. The dough came together much better and held its shape during cooking. For the sauce I simmered it a bit longer than suggested to deepen the flavor and added a splash of reserved pasta water at the end to help it emulsify. The fresh basil made a big difference too. I think the key is letting the dough rest for at least thirty minutes before rolling it out. Let me know if you want the exact measurements I used.
I also substituted the canned tomatoes with San Marzano ones and that gave the sauce a brighter taste. The original recipe called for a pinch of sugar but I omitted it because the tomatoes were sweet enough on their own. Next time I might try adding a touch of red pepper flake for warmth. My family really enjoyed the meal and I will definitely make it again. Let me know how it turns out if you give it a try.
