2004 CRV able to drive to mt. whitney?

I have a 2004 CRV and i was wondering if it's powerful enough to drive to the Whitney Portal at Mt. Whitney. I will have 5 passengers in all and each will have a 30 lb packback. So the CRV will be carrying a little more than 1000 lbs. If you dont know about Mt. Whitney, is the car powerful enough to drive to any mountain with that payload?
