Comment on John Muir Trail Day 23 – Guitar Lake to Mount Whitney to Whitney Portal by Kevin

Hola Jose. Depende de por donde empiezes. Si empiezas por el norte, solamente necesitas un permiso para empezar por Yosemite Valley. El permiso tiene que ser para “Happy Isles–>Sunrise/Merced Lake (pass through)”. Cuando retiras el permiso, te van a preguntar por donde vas a terminar el viaje. Ahi le dices “Whitney Portal” y listo.

Si empiezas por el sur, ahi si tienes que conseguir permiso para Mt Whitney. Por lo que tengo entendido, es por loteria y mucho mas dificil de conseguir.

Si tienes mas preguntas, estoy aqui para ayudarte.

Kevin – great journal, photos, and video. Thanks for posting it. I enjoy all of these types of journals – a way for me to live vicariously ‘on the trail’ while I’m at work! I will be hiking the trail starting Sept2, 2010. I hope to do it at about the pace you did. It seems reasonable, but I realize it is physically demanding. Thanks again for a great journal and I’ll look forward to other journals of yours.

Peter

Hi! I’m 28 too! I’m so glad to read your thoughts here, I feel so much better about my lackadaisical attitude towards the “normal” life. I got on this site because I started reading your JMT journals since I am planning a month-long thru-hike for next summer–and I am afraid my two friends are going to bail out on me. Your journals are informative and fantastic! Thank you so much for posting.

Hi Kevin,

Just read your journal of your JMT thru-hike and really enjoyed it! Thanks for posting it! I am starting my JMT thru in another few weeks and reading about your adventure has gotten me even more excited about it. Enjoy your upcoming trek on the West Coast Trail. I did that a few years back and it’s a spectacular walk! Keep your fingers crossed for some dry weather.

Take care,
Jenn
