The Friends of the Inyo and the USFS are launching a pilot stewardship program on Mt Whitney and are looking for a small group of volunteers. A volunteer will commit to the following:
(1) Four hikes during the peak season.
(2) Enjoy hiking up the Main Trail, even up to the Summit, if desired.
(3) On the descent pack out trash (only what is reasonable and safe).
(4) At the end of the hike, give a USFS ranger a conditions update.
Volunteers will be registered as official USFS Volunteers, which means they do not need a hiking permit. Volunteer hikes are pre-planned and scheduled with a USFS ranger.
Refer to The Friends of the Inyo website for more specifics and contact info on the Mt Whitney Volunteer Corps.
