Mt. Whitney Day opens twice, plus Fiery Furnace, Havasupai, and Core Zone spots
What dropped this week
Mt. Whitney Day had two separate openings this week, for Oct 14 and Oct 20. Mt. Whitney Overnight opened spots for Oct 16 and Oct 18, and Mt. Langley picked up an Oct 17 slot. Fiery Furnace opened for Oct 14, Havasupai Lodge for Oct 13, and Core Zone in the Enchantments also opened for Oct 13. San Miguel in the Channel Islands opened both Oct 17 and Oct 18. Deer Canyon at Crystal Cove picked up a Nov 2 date, and The Subway opened for Oct 30. If any of these dates work for your trip, move fast, this kind of churn on Whitney and Havasupai especially does not sit open long.
