JMT walk-up permit help?! Group of 3 from UK
Posted: Thu Apr 06, 2017 1:52 pm
Hi there,
Were a group of three guys from the UK and we really excited to hopefully hike the JMT this summer from the 5th of August to the 30th... We missed out on the permit reservations but we wanted to know whether we can get the walk up permits from Tuolumne Meadows. I hear they issue 10 a day however as we are going to be in peak times would it be sensible to get there the day before and wait outside the office over night. We are willing to do nearly anything to get these permits as we have already booked our flights! Just wanted to know what the situation is like and how likely we will be able to hike the JMT this summer! We hope to leave through Whitney portal if that is any help??
Many thanks for any help you guys have!
