This was my plan in 2017 - I even called the wilderness permit office and they confirmed it was within the rules to do this. Backtracking does not "violate the rules" for this permit - there is no

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

Yes It is permissible, as long as you are using a different permit to cross over Donahue Pass and camp on Illilouette creek the first night. Even though it might be have a mile farther use the bridge

I'm sure its a great article...too bad it sits behind a paywall.? :( JP

Well deserved! And congrats to you too Byron for all you do too. I can’t believe how much this group has grown, has it been 10 years or more, wow! Barbara
