Transportation from WP to YV

imported
#1

I am driving in from the east, leaving a car at Whitney Portal. Where can you leave a car? Then I want to go to the start of the trail at Yosemite Village to get a permit. As I understand it, I hitchhike to Lone Pine. (Is there a shuttle). I get a bus (IMATA) out of Lone Pine to Bishop, then Crest to Mammouth, then Yarts to YV. Is there an easier way? Are there companies that shuttle from Whitney Portal to the start of the JMT?

Thanks,

Do you have a date? After the roads open, it’s pretty easy to get a ride from the Portal to Lone Pine.

I used Sierra Shuttle Service this year on my JMT Trip. John is very prompt and helpful. His telephone number is (760) 876-4545. You can’t go wrong.
