Transit Lone Pine - Yosemite

imported
#1

Hello all - I am wondering if anyone can let me know what the options are for getting back to Yosemite from the Whitney end of the trail? I was thinking of staying in Lone Pine at the end of the trail, then heading back to Yosemite to catch the bus/train/plane home.

I’ve heard someone in lone pine runs a shuttle service - anyone know who and how I can contact them? Is there a bus?

Thanks very much!

Two sources of transportation in and around the Yosemite:

Disregard all mention of Greyhound.They pulled out of area.

Second Source:<a href"http://jrabold.net/yosemite/transp.htm">Traveling to and from Yosemite

There is a bus from Lone Pine to Bishop:

It seems the best way from Whitney Portal to Lone Pine is to hitch. There are private shuttles. Average cost for the whole trip is $200.00. Here is link to Trail Head Shuttles such as Whitney Portal to Lone Pine: <a href"http://lomaprieta.sierraclub.org/pcs/info/shuttles.asp">Trail Head Shuttles

I am planning to just hitch all the way unless I come to my senses.

just a few things.

Bus Services in Lone Pine DO NOT run on the weekend from lone pine!!
you catch them from the post office.

Clark is right about hitching. But if you do I would suggest parking at whitney portal and then hitching to Mammoth and then Yosemite valley. Hitching is a bit easier before you hike 200 plus miles =). Also there is a “little known” hiker shower at Whitney Portal, just ask at the store.

Crazy.
