High Sierra Trail shuttle

“Anyone have any tips or info on ride sharing or a shuttle for the High Sierra trail
Thanks
J”

“Call the Whitney Portal Store, they can can help you out with current info.

The only solid info I got in two years of looking and asking was what a ranger told me on the trail and he said there was a service that charges $300 a party to shuttle between Lone Pine and Lodgepole.

Other than that it's a fat chance in hell.”

“Forgot one...

“And another! Man, where's my mind today?!?

“Dang Sierra, where the heck were you when I needed info?

LOL!”

“lol!

Yeah, I realize that a couple of those contacts wont do too much good for the trailhead of the HST, but I thought I'd go ahead and list all I know of for the Sierra Nevada. You're right, there aint much... Maybe next summer I'll start a shuttle business? Good cash I bet.”

“Everybody I met on the trail had family that was picking them up or had dropped a car there they were hiking to.”

“Yeah, but I get asked all the time about shuttle services so I know there are still lots of people out there who need them. My wife wont be able to work (legally) for about a year until her immigration paperwork clears. Maybe she could offer rides and pick up some cash? :-)”

“Well, someone is getting $300 a party. Do it cash over the barrel.

Why not?”

“Welcome to the Grey Economy, SPT.”

“sierrapacktrip - Great job for your wife. Working without papers is a California tradition.”

“that's right Phil! ”

“LOL, Phil!”

“Thanks for all the info i called Kountry Korners Enterprises and its 345 bucks from Whitney Portal to Crescent meadow for up to 5 people. So maybe I'll put the word out if anyone wants to share the fee. other then that it's like 17 diffrent bus rides. Thanks again

“I was wondering if there is any newer info on this subject. I desire to do the HST this summer if I can get a Whitney permit.

Thanks”
