Trail Camp from 99-switch-back
February now! It is already February this year. As usual, it is started to file an application for Mt. Whitney Lottery this year today. It will be open until midnight on March 15 (EST/USA). The result will be notified by March 24. People can put up to 15 trips in an application and USD $15 application fee per person in the application.
After the lottery, all available space will be ready for reservation after April 1 on line. All people who win the lottery must complete the reservation by April 30 with USD $15 reservation fee per person. If people did not complete the reservation by the dead line, the slot will be lost and it will be back for the on-line reservation after May 1. It is almost the same process for last a couple years.
It is typically very crowded in weekends in summer time and major holidays. It might be hard to win the lottery for those dates. However, the probability for weekdays could be higher. If people plan to hike there, I guess it might be a good idea to file an application. I also plan to file it this year as usual.
