Thanks, Doug.
As of now, is the Portal *drop-in* campsite open?
And as far as you know the Mountaineer's Route is open, yes? A friend is going to apply for a wilderness pass via email for mid-August.

Much appreciated,

I spent a very good time at Portal store on Friday.
The portal store was open with a new management style under Covid-19 but with a great hospitality and great foods as usual.
