Tried for dates in September but unsuccessful. I will try checking back for open dates. I believe that if they refunded fees (even partially) there would be more open dates as that might encourage cancellations rather than no-shows.

The sad fact is with no walk ins , no one knows how many permits are open each day until the day before, and IF people don't cancel this cheats people out side of the very locals of getting a permit and drive to the Mountain.

Also are the permits not issued the day before released online at a certain time , These are some of the wild cards from last season.

I understand not having staff to man the Visitor Center and the workload walk in permits create , online option would solve the problem if permit holders would cancel long before the entry date, and when the group size changes. Opening up for others .

With the lockdowns now on camping/dayuse and travel we are in for a very rough early season. Stay tuned as we get closer to May 1.

Hopefully some of the issues from last season will be addressed.
