Fly in to Vegas @ lunchtime on Nov. 6, 2012. Return flight is Nov. 12. On arrival, travel immediately to the Portal on the 6th to acclimate overnight, double back to Lone Pine on the morning of the 7th to pick up an overnight permit and then hit the trail. Overnight somewhere on the trail.
1.Bringing microspikes. 2. Will crampons be needed? 3. Can I drive to the Portal to park? 4. Anyone else going between Nov. 7-11?
