Unused Whitney Permits for 2009                


This table shows the number of permits available for both overnight hikes and day hikes on the Main Mount Whitney Trail.  These numbers were taken from the Inyo National Forest Mt. Whitney Trail Reservation Availability web page.

The "4/8" column shows the number of permits still available immediately after the permit lottery process was completed.

The "Week Before" column shows the number of permits that were available during the week before the hike date.  The "Unused" column shows the number of permits unused after the date has passed.

The Unused number is the number of permits left over after all permit activity has completed for the day.  It is the difference between the permit quota and the count of permits issued for the day.
