Good question Tom.

Not that it mattered, but I can't remember any time during my thru-hike,
where I camped that a bear cannister was required.  I know I stopped at
several places where there were bear boxes and used that method.  Only in
northern Yosemite were bear bagging was suggested by a ranger, was I a
scofflaw and tented with my food.  No rope!

What's the regs for Lyell Canyon?
