tanstaafl Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Anyone tried to get a permit on a Friday at Marblemount lately? I've heard horror stories about waiting for hours and still not getting a permit because the WIC closed before you could get to the front of the line. I'm not worried about the permit availability, only trying to figure out how early I need to be at the ranger station the day before my trip starts in order to get a permit.

underscore_child Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Idk about a Friday. A couple Tuesdays ago I was there, we arrived at 6:55 and waited an hour and 15 minutes to talk to the ranger and get the permit. I think two or three groups had gotten tickets the night previous and several more had gotten there 10 minutes before us. Maybe you can extrapolate from that, hope it helps...

Stefan Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 There needs to be some sort of self issuing capability for X Country Zone Permits. So we don't have to wait for the rangers to be freed of all the damned questions the touristas ask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anestesia Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I've started a new thread with the same question. I'm a bit concerned about the trails - I'm just interested in hiking with the kids to an old location near the river - and I'm really concerned about the long lines at WIC in Marble Mount. Even though it was July 3, I noticed someone in the WTA write about a best article writing agency three-hour wait (probably the busiest day of the year so far). We'll be departing on Friday. Has anyone gone yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaskadskyjKozak Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I went on a Friday evening once, arriving at 2:45 pm and had a permit by 3:30. It's busy in the afternoon too, unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 We got our permit in under an hour I think on a Friday afternoon; we must have showed up around 2:30 or a little after. So that honestly doesn't seem longer than I remember it often taking years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
