Thanks for all the replies! Very helpful. I will keep researching to figure out where best to start--and when. Happy new year Christian

First off, I'm glad to see some activity on this group again. I thought maybe I missed the memo! I agree, the smoke/fire situation cancelled my trip last year in mid August so I'm aiming earlier

Until last year, I would have suggested late August or September. But the fires closure ruined my plans and I no longer have confidence that the authorities won't simply close national forests

Hi Marion..or someone, I keep getting bounced back and forth between the recreation.gov and nps websites...but can't find the form and place to submit to the permit request. Do you or someone have

Yes, excellent advice from Marion re: weather. I did the JMT in 2020. Started at Tuolumne Meadows(Lyell Canyon) in mid August and exited Whitney Portal in early September. I scored my permit through

Great advice from Marion on snow considerations. We've got lots now, but the spigot could shut off in January, we could have a couple of hot spells in late Spring, and the snowpack could be very

Here is what I would do. 1. Watch how the snow year shapes up. In a big snow year, I would hike the JMT beginning in early to mid August. In a regular snow year, I might start around July 20. In a

Looking for some advice on the best way to get a JMT permit, from someone who has gotten one since COVID. Anyone with suggestions as far as dates to shoot for would be welcome to. A lot of snow has
