Never miss a permit deadline again
July 2022
Hi there,
I hope your summer is up to a good start!
There isn’t a lot new this month. If you’re on the look for a permit, many parks release permits 1-2 weeks in advance (see the list below), and you can use Outdoor Status Club to get notified when we find canceled permits.
New Last-minute trip search
Say you want to get on a backpacking trip next weekend because the weather is nice. Wouldn’t it be great to know what’s available? It’s now possible! I created a list of over 140 backpacking trips in the Sierra Nevada with real-time availabilities.
Please let me know if that’s useful and if you’d like me to expand it to other places. Either reply to this email or take the survey.
