August 2022
Hi there,
I hope your summer is going well! If you want to travel to Zion in September or October, now is the time to book your backpacking or canyoneering permit. Here is a list of popular trips in Zion.
Backpacking trips explorer
Last month, I unveiled the Trips Explorer to search for backpacking trips in the Sierra Nevada that have available permits. However, the Sierra Nevada is large! For example, Mt. Whitney is a 7hr 30min drive from San Francisco.
To help you find close-by trips, you can now filter by driving time. It’s available to all Outdoor Status Club members (you can join for $49/year). Please give it a try and let me know what you think!
And as always, here are permits opening up in August:
