Hey you guys,
I tried to find an answer on these threads with no luck so far, so i figured i would cut to the chase and just ask. I am sorry if this is a repetitive question.
We have booked a few camp sights at the whitney portal but ended up not getting the hiking permits. I have read all over the sight that you can get permits the day before or even the day of but my question is :
What if we don't get a permit. how far out does the "district" go ? where is the closest area where we can hike from the portal that does not need a permit?
what is there to do if we are not allowed on the trail?
Thanks heaps in advance. I am very excited as this is my first trip:)
Caro
