When permits are released

Thirteen designated short-notice sites open rolling 14 days before entry at 10:00 AM Eastern (7:00 AM Pacific) - the only verified release rule here, so the 'bookable through' date reflects that 14-day window. Most other sites are typically already bookable much further out (through the season) on an unverified schedule. One reservation covers your whole party.
