Hello all, I'm heading to Whitney to do the MR Sept 5th (can't wait). Any permits out there? I've been up it twice in the last 3 years so I know the route and just looking for someone to hike with. Shoot me an email at peacockr@fosterfarms.com
If you're day hiking, you can most likely pick up a permit the day before at the Visitor Center in Lone Pine. They almost always have no-show or cancellation permits available, and they're free.
