Feel fortunate that this is the 2nd year in a row able to obtain overnight permits late June via May 1st unclaimed lottery release after being denied in open lottery system Feb-Mar. Ironically, secured 2 permits for exact dates I was unsuccessful during main event. A bit stunned to see entire month of June light up green when I hit the refresh button at 7am - must have timed the refresh within hundredths of seconds when they released them. By 7:05am after completing the process went back and everything was gone for as many months I checked.
Now if they only open up Havasupai - these permits have roll over since 2020, will be hiking Havasupai and Whitney within a weeks time.
Happy trails.
