Lottery Result for 2014 is on the web site
Mt. Whitney Lottery for 2014 was closed last months and the result is available on the web site.
I thought it was notified by E-mail. At least, I got the notice last 2 years. However, it seems that it has been changed. It is indicated on a web site, Inyo National Forest page.
I also filed the application and I had been waiting for the result. I checked the result today and I won!
If you file the application, it is better to check it now and need to accept the result by April 30 with the payment. Otherwise, the spot will be invalid.
The rest of spots
Based on limit for each day, all available spots are ready to book on the site since April 1st. This is first come / first serve basis. If you did not win the lottery and you are flexible for the days, you might have a chance to get a spot. You can check it on the same site that you submitted the lottery application. If you really want to hike Mt. Whitney this season, you'd better to hurry!
Be prepared!
Mt. Whitney trail is not technically so difficult. The trail it self is not really steep. Overall, it is easy. However, the total distance from the trail head to the top of mountain is long. It is better to have training in regular basis. Then, you might have a better chance to get to the top.
Anyway, the lottery result is ready.
