Popular dates as of March 8th, 2017
The application filing was end on March 15, 2017. There is usually a few progress report on the Inyo National Forest web site during the lottery period. It is possible to check the status and select a better probability dates in your application.
As of March 22, 2017, there is still a progress report as of March 8th, 2017 available on the internet. The most popular date for overnight permit is the labor day weekend and 2 weekends in August for the day use permit. It is obvious that the popular date is between July and early September.
It is also very clear for the first selection dates. Weekends are basically popular overall especially from July to early September, even if they are weekdays, the application is more than the limit so far. The limit for the overnight permit is 60 people per day and 100 people for the day use permit.
In general, summer time (the end of June to early September), it is probably a better condition to follow the summer trail. The weather is getting stable as well. It is clear that many people want to hike that period. On the other hand, if people pick out of this period, then it is probably a better chance to get the permit.
In my case, I've been there many times, therefore, it is OK if I could not get any permit. So that I pick just weekends for a better flexibility.
The result will be available this Friday (March 24). Let's see hot it goes!
