Hi, I'm wanting to hike the Grand Canyon of the Tuolomne in August. the White Wolf Pate Meadow allocation is taken, but there are plenty of White Wolf Smith Meadows permits available for my dates. In reading the restrictions, it says you can't camp the first night on the trail "toward Pate Valley". Does that mean we can use this permit if we intend to go all the way to Pate Valley the first day?
And does it allow us to start at the White Wolf Campground as does the Pate Valley permit?
Thanks
