[pct-l] Hitch from Onion Valley

[marmot marmot]

Hitching out of Onion Valley is quick and easy. Talk to everyone from the lakes on to the bottom. Many day hikers. I sent a box to Independence but have met hikers who hitched easily to Bishop. Check in at the hostel for people who might be driving back to Onion Valley or to the campground. I've hitched all along 395--maybe waited 10 minutes for a ride.

If not, hitching on 395 may take a little while, but most are usually successful. If not, Eastern Sierra Transit runs a bus three times per day, weekdays, between Bishop and Lone Pine.
