Unused Whitney Permits for 2018 This table shows the number of permits remaining for both overnight hikes and day hikes on the Main Mount Whitney Trail. (Day hike permits include the
non-trail Mountaineers Route.) During the summer hiking season, you can see what is currently available at the online permit website, Recreation.gov.
Check
Recreation.gov for remaining permits (A=Available, R=all reserved). If someone cancels a permit more than two days before, it will show up there as
Available (within 24 hours of the cancellation). Here are the links for the available slots. Click "
Update Availability" to see the 2-week display of available permits:
Mt Whitney Trail Day Use availability Mt Whitney Trail Overnight availabilityIf someone with a reserved permit becomes a no-show (they don't show up and don't phone in before the deadline, which is noon the day before for day hikes, and 10 AM on the entry date for overnight permits), then their permit becomes available to people walking into the Visitor Center and asking. The no-shows become available at 2 PM, the day before for day hikes, and 11 AM current day for overnighters).
The Unused columns below show the number of permits left over
after all permit activity has completed for that date. It is the difference between the permit quota and the number of permits issued for the day. It includes the cancelled and no-show permits that were still available to walk-in people at the end of the day.
