So the 2021 lottery for permits opened today. I have not looked at the lottery in several years, so it's basically all new to me. As I completed the application the best I can, I see you must state what date(s) you're going in, but not what day you're coming out. Is that how you all read it? Somewhere I read you have to tell them where you are going to camp each night but it's not on the application. Do they ask for all this detail only if you get a date to enter the zone? Can anyone elaborate on the process? Thank you.

Doug, not to argue, but I tested the application again this morning. I'm very careful to input the "overnight" option. It has not asked for an exit date. Now since I was only testing, I did not go all the way through the checkout or payment process. After choosing your date and overnight option it moves to the checkout process. I'll contact Recreation.gov to verify how it should work.

I just went through the entire process through to payment and it does not ask for an exit date for the overnight permit. It only asks for trailhead and entry date.

Doug, yes I just confirmed with the Inyo Ranger station, the application only asks for an entry date which will be used in conjunction with the daily trail quotas. If you are chosen for a permit, they will ask you for more information, i.e. itinerary, for the permit process.
As a side note, Receation.gov chat function cannot address questions about the application, thus they referred me to Inyo ranger station at 760-873-2483.
