The Whitney Zone day permit is for either the Main Trail or the MR - so, if the quota is full on the Main Trail it is also full on the MR. Forgot about that. But just as many day hike to LP Lake, I would guess there is more day traffic to LBSL given the increased popularity of the NF.

Thanks Sphazo - the original post was about nonquota season and the discussion went off track. ********* http://kathywing.smugmug.com/
