[跟风Tim]攀登美国本土最高峰Mt Whitney/Paria Canyon - Buckskin Gulch

TimK

打算9或10月份花一周左右的时间去爬美国本土最高峰Mt Whitney。Mt Whitney高4400米，位于风景漂亮的Sierra-Neveda山脉中：http://www.mount-whitney.com/。

如果拿不到Mt Whitney的许可，就试试Paria Canyon-Buckskin Gulch。PCBG是一段很窄的峡谷，多个徒步资料把它评为世界最漂亮的徒步路线之一。

这两个地方的徒步许可都很难弄到，如果都不行，我们就去大峡谷的Havasu Falls和Zion国家公园的Subway徒步：http://www.abouthavasufalls.com/havasu.html

我们走非技术性的Mt Whitney trail登顶。 Mt Whitney Trail的许可有day use许可也有overnight许可，考虑到攀登Mt Whitney单程17公里，我们需要overnight许可。

Du Min的链接说Mt Whitney的许可申请必需在3月15好号之前收到：http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/in ... cid=stelprdb5150055。所以我们要尽快把时间定下来，把申请寄出去。

我建议就定在9月20号这一周。为了增加抽中的机会，我们所有参加者都寄一份申请，如果抽中多次，只交一次的费用就行了，其它就放弃了。大家尽快表态时间是否可行？申请争取在2月份寄出。

Mt Whitney的trailhead在Mt Whitney Portal, 海拔2,550米左右。从trailhead往里走6公里左右到达海拔3,150米处的Outpost营地。从Outpost营地继续前行4公里到达海拔3,658米的Trail营地。从登顶那天的路程来看，第一晚在trail营地露营较好，从高反的角度看，第一晚在Outpost营地露营较好。

抽签的费用是$6，non-refundable。许可费用是$15/人，抽中签后交这项费用。

填领队信息（姓名和电话），可以填三个名字，请填真名，领许可证时要核对证件的。
最后填上信用卡信息，不论填了几组日期都是交6刀抽奖费，不论抽中与否6刀不退，中奖的话再额外交permit费用

The permit is for Monday, Sept 22nd. It's an overnight trip. We are going to take a week off and we are discussing what to do after the climb. We couldn't make the decision before because we didn't know when we were going to get the permit (you are allowed to picked 15 starting dates on the lottery). You still need me to pick up the permit as it is not transferable; however we can list you guys in our permits as in the lottery we only listed half of the member names in the two lottery tickets.

We have until April 30th to accept the permit
