JMT parking - John Muir Trail

imported
#1

I’m considering driving to the JMT for my southbound through-hike this summer. Where is the safest place to leave my vehicle?

Any good options in Mammoth where I could use the car partway through? Otherwise, is Yosemite (YV or Tuolumne Meadows) the best option?

Thanks for any input,
DB

There is a long term parking lot not far gem Happy Isles.
