Since whenever the Whitney Zone has existed in its current form, has anyone had a permit checked between the TH and Lone Pine Lake?CaT
I've not anyone check it in that section of trail, but I doubt a ranger would as a permit isn't required.
I haven't had any ranger check my permit in at last 5 years, and I do Whitney at least twice a year via the main trail. It may be just luck of the draw, but my sense is that they have a greatly reduced presence due to lower funding.
