I just got my overnight Whitney permit for July 1st. I sent an e-mail request for the permit last week. Received no reply. Tried calling 760 876-6200 about 10x on Friday, but no one would pick up the phone. Tried the same today with no luck. Finally found note below on one of the forums about picking up permits. After calling 760-873-2483 about 3x I got ahold of Debra and was able to get my permit and answer questions. -Of course no guarantee the permit will not be cancelled if the fire is not out on July 1st. Fingers crossed
"When all else fails, call the Wilderness Permit Office:760-873-2483 then press 0, then let it ring and ring until someone picks up. If it disconnects, repeat the process. The number should be working 8-5 daily."
