Re: Wilderness Permit Information
WD was referring to the current "administration" suspending the process for reserving entry slots into YNP during peak usage periods. They state that the process (along with its underlying regulation) is "under review".SNOOOOW wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2025 3:21 pmCurrent shutdown of the permit system?

... the Wilderness Permit process itself has not yet been affected.

Reserved my permit for the Mammoth Trail for August 23rd this morning. What a pain listing all of your intended camping locations. Took forever. At least this chore is done for my trip.

Re: Wilderness Permit Information
There is an option to just put "unknown" or "other" in every location field so you don't have to specify where you are camping each night.bald tires wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2025 10:26 am Reserved my permit for the Mammoth Trail for August 23rd this morning.

I left the days that I plan to be at Tuolumne Meadows blank. I'll try the unknown or other on my next permit.

Re: Wilderness Permit Information
With wilderness rangers being replaced with Tesla robots, I doubt your permit deets will be scrutinized.

Re: Wilderness Permit Information
True. Who is going to check?
OTOH, you may not even be able to get to a NF trailhead. The roads will be unmaintained. Washouts will not be fixed and blowdown not removed.

Re: Wilderness Permit Information
In Sierra Nat Forest very few permits were reserved in August. Same in SEKI. Except for Woods, Bubbs & HST very few permits were reserved. Even in Yosemite lots of permits are still available. I wonder if that will change as we get closer to July and August. Except for the JMT it might not be crowded this summer in the Sierras.
