Hi, we hope you can help us with our questions. We tried to call the "helpdesk" for permit requests, but they didn't answer the phone.
This summer we have planned to do a wilderness trip in Yosemite. We also have some questions about the permit request.
1. We have a few options prepared with different trailheds. We have learned that it is not allowed that each member of our group requests a permit for the same trip. However, would it be allowed if another member of our group requests a totally different round trip starting at the same date and at a different trailhead?
2. Can you use the traihead Medlicott Dome approach for a permit request? If so, is it allowed to camp somewhere at Echo Creek? The trailhed is not mentioned on the permit request map.
3. The online lottery ends at 7.30 AM PST, but what is the start time that the permit requests can be submitted? We live in Europe, so we have to plan accordingly because of the time difference.
Thanks in advance.
