how difficult was it to reserve a permit for the HST? Did you apply as soon as the permit office started taking applications?I didn't reserve. You have to reserve over 2 weeks in advance, and I was too late. So I figured I'd get a walk-in permit, same as you can on Whitney, or a no-show as last resort. But since I was starting out on Labor Day Monday, (and more people would start on a Friday or Saturday, and more people earlier in the summer), I figured I'd be ok. I drove up to Lodgepole on Sunday to get a walk-in permit, and got there at 3 and was told I had just made it, that they close at 3 PM. (I didn't know that.) Turns out the fellow stayed at the counter until at least 3:30, so I was ok. There were plenty of permits. And I could have picked one up early Monday morning, too. They open at 7 AM. No-shows become available same-day at 11 AM.
The bad part about getting a permit to start at Wolverton, is that you are supposed to stay one night on THAT trail, before joining the HST.

I was surprised to look up the Ansel Adams picture, and realize his was a closeup of one small part.
