Technically in all parts of the state your supposed to get a fire permit which is good for a year. I don't really know why the state even does this, it's not like they teach you about fire safety when you get one. They just sign your name and send you on your way. I've never heard of anyone getting checked for it.

Using your stove is certainly allowed. I don't know if you need a permit for it but they can give you one when you get your wilderness permit.

I am not sure if an open fire is allowed anywhere on the Whitney trail but I doubt it. Other wise typically 10,000 feet is the rule.
