Texas Permit Areas

Pick a wilderness permit area to browse its entry-point passes.

Texas backpacking centers on Guadalupe Mountains National Park, home of the state's highest peaks and a small set of designated wilderness campgrounds. Quotas are tiny, so fall and spring weekends book out fast.

Texas wilderness permits on recreation.gov are led by Guadalupe Mountains National Park, where high-demand passes sell out for peak dates. Permit Ranger watches every pass in the state and alerts you the moment a sold-out date opens.
