[enyapjr at comcast.net]

> - Where is a good point to (approximately 3 days @ 10 miles/day) to get off 
> the trail if we start a the Lyell Canyon Trail Head?

Agnew Meadows or Reds Meadow...

> - What transportation is available to get from this point to an airport 
> (probably Las Vegas or San Francisco)?

Park shuttle from Agnew/Reds to Mammoth Lakes; YARTS back to Tuolumne Meadows 
& car (then drive to an airport or ??) - or CREST bus from Mammoth to Reno airport...

> - What transportation is available from San Francisco to get to the Lyell 
> Canyon Trail Head where I will return to get my vehicle and drive down to 
> Whitney Portal to pick up my family?

See above - depends what you do from Mammoth, to Tuolumne & car or to Reno...
If from Frisco without a car, then Greyhound or Amtrak to Merced, then YARTS to
Yosemite/Tuolumne...

Hope that helps get you started looking for more info for your specific plans...

Happy trails!!!
Jim (PITA)
