That's right, Mt WHitney is not in the Whitney Zone, nor is any of the trail between Trail Crest and the Summit. And yes, I know what the maps look like, and yes I know what some rangers at the Visitors Center will say (until pressed) but the Summit and the entire trail from trail Crest and from Guitar Lake, to the Summit, are in SEKI and under their jurisdiction.
Well isn't that confusing (I've only looked at the maps)!!
Haha. Fair enough, thanks for clarifying!
Of all the times I've been stopped for a permit check, I've never been checked when on the MR (I haven't seen the ranger).
