My girlfriend and I are planning a month vacation in September to the States in which we would like to hike the Grand Teton Crest trail, the Coyote gulch, Escalante and the highlight should be the High Sierra Trail.
We will reach the Sierra Nevada by car from the east and intend to hike the trail from west to east. Because we are not able to find a way getting back from trail end to trail head we are thinking about renting another car (probably from Las Vegas) and leave it at Lone Pine Portal (returning it to Fresno after coming back).
Does someone have a better solution than renting (another) car for 10 days / would like to join us on our way back from Lone Pine towards Fresno?

cheers
Danny
