Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Need 2 9/3 Overnight Permits

Hello, we have a 9/3 overnight permit for my friend’s 50th birthday for 8 people, but need 2 more. We’re all avid hikers and a fun group, most of us have completed Half Dome in a day hike. If anyone has a couple extra tix available that day or any tips on getting them please let me know. We’re checking the reservation site daily to see if anything comes available, but so far no luck. Thank you!

Your best thing to do is to keep checking rec.gov and hope for those permits to show up.

It might be faster for a different trip leader to get the additional 2 permits instead of trying to extend your existing 8 person permit to cover 2 more people.

As the date gets closer you can also how for walk up permits to be available (but have to be fast on those two).

Check especially the week or two before your trip.
