Before you go

These open questions need confirmation; Wayproof does not fill them with guesses.

Do operator arrangements satisfy permits and group rules?

Aspen and Kennedy FAQs discuss after-hours pickup, while Stanislaus has a Yosemite-bound no-self-issue exception. Confirm issuance with the agency and count guides/stock. Aspen larger-group invitation is not legal permission beyond wilderness limits. Operators do not establish water safety or Yosemite dog permission.

Open question. Linked evidence does not resolve this gap.

Which Kennedy services, cabin prices and terms are current?

Confirm cabins, rides, stock support, actual season and complete charges directly. Existing home/PCT page season and trailhead-fee conflicts remain unresolved. Cabin numbering omits 13; no cabin 13 is inferred. Published capacity plus extra-person fees does not establish an approved larger occupancy.

Open question. Linked evidence does not resolve this gap.
