Re: JMT permitting trailheads in Yosemite
|
Thank you for clarifying this! ?
You are not missing anything,? if?you want to hike the "classic" southbound JMT out of Yosemite to Whitney.
Around the time the lottery moved to Recreation.gov they "simplified" the JMT permitting process, and eliminated?options which used to exist for using Sunrise as a starting point. And somewhere else, was it Cathedral? I forget. And Glacier Point instead of Happy Isles.
That said,
If you want to go "NOBO" you get different permits, I believe from Inyo NF.
If you want to take an "alternate" route exiting Yosemite on a pass other than Donahue, e.g. to avoid crowds, do something off the beaten path, or more easily secure a permit with timing that works for you, there are?alternatives!

Hi Folks,I’m about to enter the lottery for JMT permit aiming for a start date from 8/11-8/20. I just found out there are only two trailheads with Donohue Pass. Are they the only ones for JMT through hike? Or I missed something?? Thanks!
