Mt. Whitney Lottery Progress Report

As of Wednesday, April 7, 2010


Today's mail has the end of the lottery letters going out.

The only applications that have not been responded to are the ones with problems of some sort.  The most common problem holding up these results letters is incorrect credit card information.  We have started contacting those people by email and phone, for the 100 or so remaining applications.


By the way, all the unsuccessful letters went out last week.

For those who were unsuccessful in the lottery, you can view the calendar of available space on the Inyo National Forest website, so people can begin looking at what is available on line. To get a phone-in reservation from those still available in May, June, or July, you can call starting on Wednesday, April 21. (Phone 760-873-2483 or Fax 760-873-2484)

The Inyo staff also report that they are hoping to have a new system in place by next year, with the possibility of a GREEN on-line lottery with next day email results!

More info will come as it develops.
