Help with a Shuttle from Whitney Portal

imported
#1

It would be great to hook up with someone planning a car shuttle from WP to TM or vise versa on August 29th 2006.

My permit begins from TM on Aug 30th and plan to summit and exit at WP on Sep 10th or 11th. I am currently planning to park my car at TM, then hitch back at the end.

It would be great to be part of a shuttle where I can get a ride from WP to TM on Aug 29th. I would be willing to shuttle somebody from WP to TM on Sep 10-11 at the end of my hike.

Please pass on this information to anybody you know who is planning a similar jmt trip.

Thanks in advance,
Rod

You may wish to visit the JMT topic, thread “JMT from Mammoth” for description of an easy way to do your own shuttle and end up with your car waiting for you at Whitney Portal.

Shelly,
Thanks for the link. I also checked a few other links and now don’t think I can do the WP to TM shuttle in 1 day. The bus leaves only once a day at around 7am from Mammoth to Yosemite which means I would have to park my car at WP then hitch or pay for a shuttle to Mammoth, then layover in Mammoth to take the bus early am.

Is that right? or am I missing something?

If somebody would be kind enough to create a simple timeline it would be appreciated. My permit is for Aug 30th from TM in Yosemite and would like to complete the shuttle on Aug 29th.

Thanks in advance,
