**Happy Isles to Little Yosemite Valley, Happy Isles pass-through, Glacier Point to Little Yosemite Valley, and Sunrise Lakes trailheads: Permits for 20 people, all of which are available by reservation. Late cancellations will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, although we don’t expect any to be available most days.
*<strike>Through July - buy all the gear! (see [[JMT/gear]])</strike>
**The permit request form is the same as before, but it has one extra section that states “I plan to exit over Donahue Pass”. Here you are stating where you will leave Yosemite National Park. If you plan to hike to Whitney, you will check the “yes” box. If you plan on camping outside of Yosemite, you must write in where.

*"This is going to move a lot of people over to Inyo National Forest trailheads (like Rush Creek or Reds or Agnew Meadows, Mammoth Pass etc) or Sierra National Forest trailheads (e.g. Lakes Edison or Florence). So they will be taking shortened JMT hikes (skipping at least the first 41 miles Happy Isles to Rush Creek). One good side effect might be to encourage people who want to cover roughly 220 miles to include more sidetrips in their plans. I think that actually leads to a better hike and disperses people in the wilderness better."<ref>https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/johnmuirtrail/conversations/topics/48888</ref>
