Gosh Steve - we did not know that at all, and that would have been a key bit of information in our trip planning! We thought we only had the one night. Should this information have been really obvious to us from the permit we received??
We stayed in a hotel in Lone Pine after our descent and drove back to San Diego the next day (7/13). But it probably would have been more optimal to camp again at Trail Camp after our summit ascent (did I mention how fabulous the view is from the top?!?), then next day walk down from Trail Camp to the car (~4 hours), stop in Lone Pine for lunch, then drive back to San Diego.
