Since I typically go for the "walk in permit" I checked out the cost of shuttle service. East Side Sierra Shuttle offers rides for:
- from Lone Pine: $65 plus $20/extra passenger.
- And to leave at 2:00 AM an additional $100.00. So, for one person, leaving at 2:00 AM the total would be $165.00
While a bit expensive, in consideration of the total cost of one of these hikes not really so much. In particular since you have no worries about finding parking.
