A friend and me have a permit Bishop to Mt Whitney for July 12, 2020. no cancellazioni notice yet. Is it due to CV expected spikes??.
Fellow hiker, as Dogwood once suggested to me, if you can. Do not miss going to Cloud Rest. An unforgetable place. Not just to pause but to hem and haw. Above all pawse!!!!
Great info. Did I miss it in the posts? Does anyone know the reason for draining Florence Lake?
Thanks
With your determination,Kerosene, you will be back and finish the JMT. All the best.

Basics requirements in evaluating environment, weather, and remoteness you will face. He should not be on this trail. Or he is taking us for a ride with his disingenuous questions. I don't want to...

I enjoyed it. My 2nd attempt of the JMT ended at MTR on the 20th of August 2015 due to the dense smoke in the canyon.
I had abondoned the idea of finishing the remaining 110+ miles; however, after...

Starting the JMT from Lyell Canyon on 8/12/15 plan to finish 9/1 or 2 Whitney. I fly in to Reno and leave out of Reno. Reading your post on the bus ride back to Reno I am looking at an...
Clouds Rest is my recommendation.
Take your time up there and enjoy.
I thank each of you for your input and suggestions.

Hi all,
Hiking the JMT August 2015 and would like to know
contact information in case of an emergency. i.e., lost

American Bears do not know how to play soccer. If it's an Italian Bear, you would have a problem.
This July I used a Bearikade weekender it worked well and used it as a camp stool. WildIdeas...
Hey Dogwood, you were right on. I used my alchy stove in Happy Isles and in the Inyo park with out any concerns.
As I indicated in previous posts (in this thread) the rangers I had contacted...
I'm not sure how typical my experiences from hiking the JMT this July are or how they may be useful to you plan your 2015 hike . These are my takeaways:
1) The views were jaw-dropping to the point...
That is the conundrum of issuing regulations (which as a rule are written as general rules) that are to be applied to specific situations.
Complicating matters is that each "Park" can apply and/or...
Dogwood, I did check with Yosemite NPS Happy Valley and spoke to a female Ranger she said clearly that they do not have a restriction on alcohol stoves used by backpackers.
I recently spoke to Rich...
There seems to be a missunderstanding regarding what is restricted and allowed based on the fire restrictions notice
from the NPS issued on July 1, 2013. Some readers of the notice understood that...
