I'll be hiking the JMT NOBO in less than two weeks and was curious to see if anyone on this board has some tips or insights to long term parking. I'm not sure if I want to leave my vehicle in Yosemite Valley and take YARTS/ESTA back to Lone Pine up to Portal to start the trek - OR - Leave my vehicle at the Portal and take YARTS/ESTA back to Lone Pine when finished with trek. My concern scheduling with YARTS. It seems that they only pick up twice a day (LATE IN THE DAY) from the visitor center in Yosemite and takes you to Mammoth (arriving pretty late in the evening requiring me to get a hotel). And with the pandemic, seating may be limited.
If anyone has any experience in this, please share.
Thank you!!
