It is still pretty early. There will be much less snow than in the trip report John linked to, but I think you will still encounter snow at NA Pass. In years past with that snow, people have always reported that they could find a way to climb throu

Fear not, Lindy -- plenty of people on the trail. Half the fun is socializing with them all. (I did the hike as a single hiker in 2004.)

Steve, I see you slept in your car. Can a person pitch a tent in that area? Do others do that? Good info on parking. I'm guessing the shuttle people deal with that often.

Thanks for the info Steve! I'll call them and see what the deal is and if they have any info on conditions. I saw the trip report for NAP and OAP so I would assume they are similar.

Cottonwood Pass is often not over their quota, so they have likely set June 28 as the date when they start enforcing the quota. So all you need to do is walk into the Visitor Center S of Lone Pine and ask for the permit. If you want to make sure,

The Mist Trail is much steeper than the JMT, and there are sections of steps that are fairly high (over 10" steps), so this would be the most difficult part of the hike for your fiancée. If the JMT is open by the time of your hike I would certai

RF, I'm not sure how light you are willing to camp, but the spot I used is undeveloped: barely fire circles, no picnic tables. Just parking pull-out areas. But if you are just going to park, sleep, then go, it would be ok. It is on the N. Long J

It's spring after a mild winter and this is a south face. You don't need to have hiked this trail to know that it is clear and will be until it snows later this fall...hopefully.
