Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Walk-in permits

At this point in time, all you can do is look for cancellations. I would look EVERY DAY, perhaps a couple of times a day, until you get the permits you want. There are a couple of things to keep in mind. First, the more flexible you are in terms of date, the better. Most likely, you will find permits around those dates at SOME point. But you may not find them EXACTLY on those dates. If you can do your hike within the time frame of a week, chances are MUCH better. Secondly, those dates (or others around it) will more likely open up as you approach them. It is usually within a few days to a couple of week that people have to cancel plans. So don’t get too worried just because nothing is available NOW. Do keep looking every day, however.
