We (party of 3) want to apply for a 2-night permit on Whitney Trail. ie, exit date 2 days after entry date.
Will this reduce our chances of being selected in the lottery? Or do you "win" first, then get placed into one of your 15 requested trip dates?
Related to this: it looks as though, from reading the Inyo NF website, that camping at Lone Pine Lake, if you do that, counts as one of your overnight nights on your Whitney Trail application. Is that correct?
Thanks for any info on this!
