Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion 2016: Whitney Portal parking & Road Construction: Completed

I'm wondering if they are going to lift the parking restrictions before the end of the season this year. Going to head up in 3 weeks and do a trip starting at Shepherds Pass, bagging Tyndall, Willi, Trojan, Barnard, Russell, Whitney and Muir. Would like to leave a car at the portal, but if the parking restrictions aren't lifted by then It looks like we'll just park at the Lone Pine Campground and either hitch down or walk the trail back down to the car when we exit via the MR.
