Since the Big Pines Lakes portion of the John Muir Wilderness is in the Inyo National Forest, they are in charge of issuing permits (working in partnership with Recreation.gov). There are daily quotas for each trailhead, so obtaining a wilderness permit reservation is recommended.
The remaining 10 are set aside as walk-up permits, available after 11 AM the day before your departure. Permits can be reserved at Recreation.gov (look up JM23: Big Pine Creek North Fork) up to six months in advance. Day hiking does not require a permit. The only required information is the lake you’ll be staying at.
