Re: Yosemite permits on recreation.gov

Since permits with an LYV camping requirement could potentially account for all 20 "non-Lyell" permits in the JMT lottery each day, moving that many bodies from a hardened campsite into dispersed camping is obviously a big change. Yosemite tried to strike a management balance between access and overkill and decided that 45 people per day is the right number. Are you advocating for it to be lower?

Interesting to see all the concern about more camping impacts with this change. I have for years talked about increased impacts from having more JMT hikers because of various permit alternatives to get on the trail but haven't gotten much traction from this group and even faced significant push back. It's been clear to me for a while, but this group is clearly concerned with access for the JMT first and foremost, while concerns about impacts are a distance second or third or just lip service for some.
