"I'm planning to do this magnificent tour to Mt. Whitney this summer with my friend... But we failed to get permit for this, and this site says this... "For day hikes you can self register at the trailhead sign in station." Anyone please let me know if we can hike for just one day, can we still just do "self register" at the station?"

"It was my 5th hiking on Mt. Baldy climbing up thru Baldy Bowl trail down to the Devil's backbone trail. Windy as usual, but this time it was SE wind, so we had to eat our lunch watching over west part of the Angeles Forest mountains. On the way down,the wind was so strong that it created strange whistling sound out of the cane one of my group member 81-year-old grandpa carries. It has 7 holes that can adjust length of the cane, and when the wind passes through the small hole it made the sounds. I thought it was someone playing an ancient musical instrument upon the summit of the Baldy... The best part of the hiking was coming down on a ski lift... just shorten the time and distance to 10 minutes for $10... fun!!"
