Still unresolved

What remains unresolved for Leavitt Lake to Pacific Crest Trail junction? Atomic mileage, current trail condition, return itinerary, water and individual campsites are unresolved. Display starts at the named trail feature near the lake, not the separate trailhead-page coordinate. That official point and map trail start differ; parking geometry is unreviewed. Continuations to Leavitt Peak, Latopie Lake, Emigrant Pass and Yosemite remain outside this bounded route.

Before you go

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

Which permits/addenda cover the complete crossing itinerary?

NPS ordinarily accepts the outside-origin agency permit; Hoover booking adds a specific south-of-CA120 permit/addendum condition. Preserve both instead of promising blanket reciprocity. Confirm itinerary, Donohue/Half Dome eligibility, any PCT permit, and Yosemite-bound issuance/no-self-issue restrictions.

Open question. Linked evidence does not resolve this gap.

Cross boundary continuation condition

Published condition: additional relevant entry permit and/or issuing-unit long-distance continuous-trip addendum
Specific itinerary decision: confirm with issuing agency
Trigger: continuing south of CA Highway 120

No claim effective interval recorded.

NPS outside-origin FAQ assigns permits to the agency managing the entry trailhead even when every overnight is inside Yosemite. Cherry Lake and Lake Eleanor are explicit Stanislaus examples. Separate Donohue Pass and Half Dome eligibility still apply.

What remains unresolved for Leavitt Lake to Pacific Crest Trail junction?

Atomic mileage, current trail condition, return itinerary, water and individual campsites are unresolved. Display starts at the named trail feature near the lake, not the separate trailhead-page coordinate. That official point and map trail start differ; parking geometry is unreviewed. Continuations to Leavitt Peak, Latopie Lake, Emigrant Pass and Yosemite remain outside this bounded route.

Open question. Linked evidence does not resolve this gap.

Why do Leavitt Lake reports differ?

The 2012 PCT/High Emigrant Trail report is 1.8 miles; the current trail detail reports 1.65 miles. Do not select a single precise total or convert either into atomic mileage.

Open question. Linked evidence does not resolve this gap.
