You must start over getting a new permit if the exit is available at that time. From the beta I have gathered mid week is the best time.


Hi PCI,

So you are saying you reserved JUST the entry permit for Piute Pass but didn't have a Whitney exit... then when you went to Bishiop to get the permit, you were at the office early, during the middle of the week, and asked for a Whitney exit and they gave it to you?

On the application for the Piute pass, what did you put as your exit point? Cottonwood?
