The long awaited Whitney Portal Hostel is now open, on Main Street in Lone Pine.

For reservations, call: 760-876-0030
The address is 238 S. Main Street


Here are pictures from the Whitney Portal Hostel, from the grand opening night.

I just wanted to chime in and say that the Hostel is remarkable---both for its deluxe accommodations and for the price. We were fortunate to stay there Saturday and Sunday and it was perfect. (Nice to see Cherida able to work in air conditioned comfort and not have to swat mosquitoes or say for the billionth time: "No, we don't have a bathroom here" like at the store.)

My only concern is that getting reservations will soon be harder than getting into the Whitney lottery.

Great job Doug & Co!

Does anyone run a shuttle service between the hostel and the portal? Just seems like such a service would get lots of customers, as parking at the portal is kind of tight in peak season, and you have to worry about bears.
