AFAIK only the two Donohue exit permits from Happy Isles and Lyell Canyon include the Whitney Zone permit automatically. Other starting trailheads don't. In 2022 I hiked from VVR to Whitney Portal and had to select the Whitney exit option on the permit, which was easily available at the time (June).

You need a permit in Whitney Zone even for dayhiking.

SOBO folks always come from west. Does that mean they must get a Whitney Zone permit in addition to their Yosemite Donohue exiting permits? When I did HST one and half years ago I don’t remember I need a Whitney permit. But I didn’t camp inside Whitney Zone though.

Coming from west (Crabtree Meadows, Guitar Lake) you need the extra Whitney exit permit only if you want to go eastward beyond Trail Crest (i. e. to Whitney Portal). The trail to the summit (marked in red)t is outside Whitney Zone (left of the blue border).

Question about the alt starting trailheads (including NOBO):? do you need to get a separate permit to go up Whitney?? Where/how do you get it?? and Do you have to specify your exit trailhead and date on the unofficial starting points that don't go over Donahue??
