That's interesting -- obviously didn't know, but it makes sense -- thanks.

I believe I talked with Richard on the phone. As you may know we issue
permits only for hikes of 500 miles or longer. I believe your hike will
fall well under that. According to our guide books under the permit
section it says hikers will need a permit from Golden Trout Wilderness
and Sequoia National Park for section G which covers up to Mt. Whitney.
For Whitney and beyond the guide book says you can get a permit by
contacting Sequoia and Kings Canyon Nat'l Parks. I've sent along a page
of links that will get you started.

Good luck and happy hiking,

I believe they'll give you a PCT permit even for a 500 mile section,
with the Whitney sticker if you request it.  Puck, can you verify
whether this is the case or not?  Thanks.

This is my first post on this forum. We are planning a backpacking trip
for next summer - Starting at Kennedy Meadows and hiking north, joining
up with the John Muir Trail at Crabtree Meadows, and then north to
Tuolumne Meadows. I know this is less than 500 miles, so we can't just
get a permit from the PCTA. Where do I need to go to get a wilderness
permit for this trip.

Thanks,
Rick McKeon
