[pct-l] Mt Whitney Permit

[Gregory Wilson]

>From what I've read from the website, it seems that it is mandatory that I pick up a permit in 
Lone Pine before I ascend Mt. Whitney, regardless if I am coming from the Muir Trail or the Whitney portal. 
Does anyone know if there is a way get a permit without having to go to Lone Pine? My plan was to go from 
Kennedy Meadows and resupply at Muir Trail Ranch, without having to drop off the mountains for anything.
