[pct-l] Sonora Pass - Wilderness Permit

[Lee Staley]

I've noticed you can do self-issued permits at the Leavitt Meadows trail head/campground - just to the east of Sonora Pass. I think you could do a permit there for Sonora Pass to NYP. If not, you could start at Leavitt Meadows and access NYP via Dorothy Lake Pass (your trail joins the PCT @ 3 miles east of the pass.

It is walk in, self issue if after hours. They don't get much traffic in that office.  I have picked up my permit there many times.
