I have a permit for Red Cones starting August 19. I hope it is late enough! I don't much want to navigate a bunch of snow and high water with a rookie llama. But if not, I will get something for later on a walkup permit, if that appears to be possible. I anticipate a very high demand for late season permits this year. I have had no trouble at all getting walkups the last three years. And strangely enough, I got this reserved permit on my first try this year. I logged on at 7 a.m. and there it was.
Fortunately for me I live in So Cal so getting a last minute permit is no problem for me.
It has been great fun for me seeing the epic snow pictures from Mammoth. But I am sure it is no fun whatsoever for the residents.
