Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion North Fork: how far up before permit required?

Thanks! looks good

That must be the sign I vaguely remember barely seeing thru the bushes from the main trail at the trail junction.

Sounds like I don't need to worry the first day. I'll get the next-day permit and head up for a day hike as far as I can get or LBSL, whichever comes first.
I'm mainly worried about the ledges. I shouldn't have any trouble day hiking past them.

Thanks all!
