Thanks for confirming the MR is open. I hear both the rationale of whether the decision to close the main trail and open the MR is valid (good points made). But regardless of what this decision incentivizes, the MR still needs a permit right? And most those permits have been allocated to advanced reservations, right? What is the process for picking up a permit - is it calling Easter Sierra Visitor Center?
I see available North Fork Whitney Permits at recreation.gov:
June 17:2, 21:2, 23:4, 24:4, 25:4, 26:4
Reserve a spot online and then call the Inyo Permit Office (760) 873-2483 like a fanatic until they answer.
