Re: Wondering if it is possible to use a Happy Isles to Illilouette wilderness permit to access Tuolumne Meadows?


 

It should be okay as long as you don't double back on the first day and camp on the JMT somewhere.

I have a feeling that these kind of questions will come up more often with only the Happy Isles pass-through permit having a Donahue exit now.

In 2020 when I did the JMT from Happy Isles, I originally had a Glacier Point to Little Yosemite Valley permit with Donahue exit, but lucked out a few weeks before my JMT started and got a HI pass-through permit. I was planning on doing a HI to Nevada Falls day hike the day before to get that part of the JMT out of the way.

Although it's a bit further down the trail than the no camping zone (maybe an extra mile), there is a great area to camp with a great view of the area and Mt Starr King at 37.69329, -119.53328.
