Permit needed for overnight camping at lone pine lake. Get this at ranger station, to the right , just as you enter lone pine. Pick up bear canister here as well

Drive up Whitney Portal road till it ends. Park. Display copy of permit in vehicle.

Hike approx 2.5 Miles up Mt Whitney trail. Follow sign to lone pine lake detour to left of the trail. Camp anywhere following LNT policies.

I went midweek in early September and there was only one other group camping.
