What are thoughts of going alone for this 'scouting' hike? Depending on chances of getting 1 permit instead of 2? I'd probably only do 6-7 miles.

Going alone? On the MMWT? Maybe in the middle of January...hmmm, forget that one.

Figure the MMWT to be like either Ice House Canyon or Ski Hut Trail North. There are always peeps around.

If you can't get a permit for the MMWT, just hiking high all day someplace...Horseshoe Meadow or Onion Valley. It will be a "We're not in Kansas anymore experience". I regretted not doing this before my first trip up the mountain.
