Permit Ranger - sold-out wilderness permits open up. Be first to know.
Permit Ranger polls recreation.gov around the clock and sends a push notification the moment a wilderness permit you're watching opens on one of your dates: cancellations, quota drops, and release-day openings included. It never books for you.
How it works
- Pick your passes - browse every entry point across 37+ permit areas with AllTrails ratings, demand scores, and maps.
- Set your dates - add the date windows you can hike; each window watches its own set of passes with your party size.
- Get the alert - the instant a watched pass opens on your dates you get a push notification with a direct booking link.
