Snag hard-to-get Yosemite, JMT & Mt. Whitney permits the moment a cancellation opens. Receive instant alerts from recreation.gov, so you book before anyone else. PermitScout watches recreation.gov for you and alerts you the instant a hard-to-get wilderness permit opens up - so you can grab a cancellation before anyone else. Permits for trails like the John Muir Trail, Half Dome, Mt. Whitney, and Yosemite's high country sell out in seconds. But people cancel all the time. PermitScout checks every 5 minutes and pings you the moment a spot frees up on the trail and dates you want. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a trail and the dates you're hoping for • PermitScout monitors recreation.gov around the clock • Get a push notification the second a permit opens • Tap through to book it on recreation.gov before it's gone FEATURES • Watch multiple trails and dates at once • Real-time push alerts for cancellations and new releases • Browse current availability across every tracked trail • Calendar view of open permits • In-app log of every alert we've sent you • Sign in with Apple, Google, or email * Browse trails and permit availability without an account. TRAILS WE COVER Yosemite Wilderness, John Muir Trail entry points, Mt. Whitney, Inyo National Forest, and more Sierra Nevada trailheads. PermitScout finds openings and links you straight to recreation.gov to reserve. It doesn't book permits for you. We are not affiliated with recreation.gov or the National Park Service.
