Mt. Whitney Hiking 2017 (8) ~ After May 1st
It is almost the end of May. I checked the availability of the permit on the reservation site and there is almost no available date except very early / late season. Right after May 1st, probably a few days, there are a couple dates I could see even if some weekends. There were many dates in weekdays. But about a week after most of them were going away. It might be hard to get a permit unless somebody cancel the reservation. At this moment, people who have not got the permit might want to check the reservation site often. Also, they might want to take a chance to get it at the visitor center, but this one is no grantee. That is only option for now.
As I did see on the reservation site, there were many chances to get it if people check it those few days often. This is a similar as what I saw last year. Especially people who can go early / late season the chance is reasonably good. At least I got two different dates with overnight permit and I will pick one of dates for this year's hiking.
Now I will focus on preparation of the hiking, especially training for the long hiking this year. As I posted yesterday, I got injured when I ran in Taiwan. Therefore, I stopped running for a month and my fitness situation is getting worse now. I will need to recover my fitness level in next few months for the hiking. Now, I just started slow jog probably a several times a week.
