Ditto on the Globalstar network. I had one of their sat phones for a number of years. Connectivity was a real problem and dropped calls were the norm. They kept telling me that they were going to

Judy... I have the Garmin Inreach Mini...$12 month for the annual safety plan. I would stay away from SPOT, it is on Globalstar network which is just not as robust as Iridium, which Garmin uses.? A

I had the same experience as Frank when trying right at 7am. After a couple of tries I got through and secured my permit. I rechecked afterwards at about 7:10 and they were all gone for Bishop Pass,

My experience has been that there is no need to reload the web page to update the availability. I log in, set up the permit parameters and then use the "next/prev 5 day" buttons to move back and forth

I agree with Frank. If you don’t want any messaging or navigation features, a bona fide PLB will do the job without the lingering user problems that go with Swiss-Army-knife devices. You want high

You can also go in multiple times to complete the campsites. No need to worry about the 15 minute time limit. Relax and enjoy the planning process. Randy Satterfield 704-575-6510

Regarding the time limit, after you select the permit you want, you have fifteen minutes to proceed to the next step so there's quite a bit of time to specify all the necessary information. It's only

Choosing an alternate leader is key (if you have one). You can only do that when you’re making the reservation. The rest can be filled in later.

Steve Came here to say what Henning said. I entered first night trailhead, left everything else blank and chose an alternate leader.

Thank you! Good to know.

Hi Steve, this is not necessary. Log in before 7 an, reload in the right moment, grab the permit, and just add an arbitrary exit trailhead and a short duration, like 3 days, plus the campsites

All true on ease of the hike, the plus side of entering via Cottonwood Lakes is the lakes basin which is gorgeous. If you want a shorter (and IMHO easier) climb, then go over Old Army, not New Army.

It looks like there are spotty cancellations here and there ... I've never seen anything like this. Cottonwood Pass is definitely an easier entry than Cottonwood Lakes. In 2018, I entered at

Thanks Ravi! I just tried to grab two of the Cottonwood Lakes permits but the page literally expired before I could enter all my overnight locations. Now I’ve run out of time to work on it today.

Ravi, I can state the same - never seen this ! But my issue was that I wanted Cottonwood pass not lakes mid July and tried for 2 weeks - futile :( Ended getting Rush creek- didn’t really wanted go

I might do that -- the trip reports I've read for Duck Pass/Lake look interesting. My goal for the first night is Virginia Lake, one of my favorite spots on the JMT. There's probably a good chance

If you’re heading south from Red Cones then Duck Lake is a very short detour. I would probably be inclined to drop my pack close to the Duck Lake/JMT trail split and go up over Duck Pass to take in

As many others have reported, the reservations for Inyo this year are super-competitive like I have never seen before. One issue I had is that the system did not make the August 18 permits available

Thanks Rob. I corrected it -- John Curran Ladd 1616 Castro Street San Francisco, CA? 94114-3707 415-648-9279

For your minimal requirements you may want to look into a certified Personal Location Beacon (PLB). These are mostly single use devices, you extend the antenna and push the button to notify the
