You can pretty much do what you want once you¡¯re in, with two exceptions, neither of which would apply to you starting at Bubbs and going North. ?The exceptions are:
1 - exiting Whitney Portal - you need an explicit permit for this
2 - exiting Yosemite via Donahue pass going Southbound - you need an explicit permit for this too

I am thinking of doing the JMT in July 2022. I don't care too much about walking every mile of the trail and so for ease of permitting I was thinking of starting at Bubb's Creek Trailhead in Sequoia-Kings Canyon. It's about 12 miles from the trailhead to the JMT. I'd then head north.?
My question and forgive me if the answer is obvious and I should have figured out on my own: Can one simply start the JMT wherever they wish if they can get a permit? I understand why it's so difficult to get permits at the northern and southern ends, but I wonder if Bubb's Creek is easier? Once I get that permit can I just head east and then north with no further worries about permits?
Thanks and please let me know if my question is not clear.
