Never miss a permit deadline again
May 2022
Hi there!
The hiking season is approaching, but it’s not too late to get permits. Several parks are releasing permits in the next week: North Cascades (Apr 26), Yellowstone (Apr 26), and Mt Whitney (May 1).
If you’re planning to snag a Mt Whitney permit on May 1, I can tell you which dates will have availabilities:
And even if you’re not able to snag permits when they release, you can always count on Outdoor Status Club to notify you when people cancel theirs. I recently added support for Central Cascades, Mt Rainier, and North Cascades.
