Yes, please. We get enough politics elsewhere. Please keep this forum for hiking and backpacking. [email protected]> wrote:

How about we all just leave the political commentary outside and focus on what unites us.

You know, Granola, you are mistaken : this group is moderated by the very same wonderful people who run main JMT group and yearly branches and the Ladies. People have perceptions, but we try to focus

For those despairing of getting a JMT permit, there are creative solutions, using less popular trailheads. For example. (This plan requires two permits) Get to Mammoth. (drive in or fly to Reno and

I was asked for ID once, in 2019 near Cathedral Lakes. Asked for ID dayhiking to Half Dome back in 2010, but that's understandable -- dwybert@... Windows/MacOS/iOS/Linux/KJ6CPX

Yeah, I tried to do the Collegiate loop last year. Still wish I had pushed myself to finish. I ended up doing Antero, Shavano, and Tabegauche from a short section of the Colorado Trail, but got 14er

I think it's only permit hoarding if you don't release the permit if you get a better one. The original permit is Plan A until you get another one, even if it is Plan B or C in your personal

As Don mentioned multiple permits cause problem but really, rolling out permits day by day, vs all at once, encourages that as you really are almost crazy if you don’t choose the earliest date that

I’ve been asked for a permit, but I don’t remember having to show ID, so it may be possible to re-sell a permit. I think people may do it with Half Dome permits on Craigslist.

Scalping is unlikely. The solution is to pick an unpopular entrance south. It will add miles before you get on the JMT but will be quiet. You won’t get quiet on the JMT. Making the trip longer

We camped well above Anvil last August, when Edison for example was? as drier than I have ever seen it .? Had plenty of good water on a tributary.

Wow, folks aren’t joking about the permit situation! Just checked Inyo and SEKI and most popular trailheads for August 9 are gone. I still intend to get an Inyo permit for later in August but for

The elephant in the room is the apparently common practice of people grabbing permits for their Plan Bs and Cs and then sitting on them while they continue to pursue their Plan A. If and when they

I've camped at Anvil late in the season (Aug-Sep) and the water was good. I don't think it will dry up.

There was water near Anvil camp in but I am not sure if it runs all season. I was there pretty early in the season, in late May.

Thanks for the tip. Planning to camp at Anvil. How was the water situation?

I hiked down Shepherd Pass in 2015. Unless you start very early, I would suggest spending the night at Anvil Camp to acclimate and then start the second day going over the pass. The trail was a bit

There is so much excellent territory to explore in the Sierra, it's almost a shame to ever retrace your steps! The hardest permits to get, are invariably for the busiest trails. One of my favourite

I have the 11th edition and it has the map with it. Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2022 6:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JMT-groups.io] Lottery frustrations Hey Rick, good to know about

Yeah, that was my concern with the Happy Isles pass through permits ALL being for the Donahue exit. People who didn't want to stay at LYV the first night can only go for that permit, reducing the
