Hi there, i have yet to attempt this whole permit process and was wondering the following questions before i attempt to call the office and get typical governmental answers...
1. I want to day hike Whitney from the main hiking trail. Would like to get a walk in permit the day before i start the hike as i understand this is when i have to get the permit. If i attempt to day hike on a weekday versus a weekend day, are the odds much higher of getting a day hike walk in permit way higher on a weekday?
2. My optimal plan would also include camping at lone pine lake on the way down to the trailhead. Odds of getting a walk in permit for that as well?
Thank you for your time and i look forward to becoming a Whitney veteran soon!
