Arrrgh I missed the May 1st drop, and would love to get overnight permits for me and my parents at any point between July 15th and 22nd. My folks are coming over from Norway, are experienced hikers, but not climbers. Want to take them on the Whitney Trail to show them one of my favorite areas in the U.S. Any suggestions on how to get permits once they're all gone? Or -- any similar hikes to suggest in the area? Where permits are less coveted? Doesn't have to be multi-day, just enough to hit a peak and enjoy the scenery.
Any advice welcome!
