Does anyone know the parking situation in the Agnew Meadows area. Is there trailhead parking available? I see the Agnew Meadows Campground is closed due to the tree blow down, but I'm hoping there's parking for backpackers who arrive before or after shuttle hours.

I've tried calling a few times, but only got the "we're busy" message; so I thought I'd post here just in case someone had been up in that area.

I finally did get through to the Visitor Center and have the answer to my question now.

Could you post the answer Kathy? Some of us will be there on Saturday. Thanks in advance!

I was told the parking area is open and driving down there and parking when the shuttle isn't running is fine, but parking spaces are limited and there is no guarantee a space will be available for parking when one arrives at the parking area.

I just looked at the Sierra Challenge and see that Saturday has Leonard Minaret, or other assorted peaks in the vicinity, on the agenda for 30+ people. That's a lot of folks arriving Friday night and early Saturday - thanks for the warning. I'll probably switch to Plan B where I can get a good night's sleep at a less crowded trailhead area.
