Reservations
Inyo National Forest Permits and Seasonal Road Access
Wilderness permits are required year-round for overnight stays in Inyo National Forest and neighboring parks; many popular trailheads use a quota system from May to November. A lodging or glamping reservation does not provide trail access or bypass road closures. Systems for high-demand areas like Mt. Whitney or overnight backpacking often require lottery participation months in advance; always verify current procedures on the official Recreation.gov site.
