Bdubs Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I am planning on doing a training hike up to Muir pretty soon, and maybe want to camp there for a night. I know I only need to get a wilderness permit since I'm not climbing past Muir, but are these permits limited? Or do I just show up to the RS in Longmire and get one?

ScaredSilly Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 The permits are not limited but camping at Muir is limited regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christensent Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 If you want to go on a weekday, there's a good chance you won't have a problem but yes it is limited. If you want to go on a weekend, I've had reservations rejected even a month in advance for Muir in peak season on a weekend. You can usually get a permit for Muir Snowfield which ends something like 1000 feet below Camp Muir, nobody wants to be there but it could be ideal for a training hike, might even be more pleasant than Muir since you wouldn't be with hundreds of climbers making noise all night.
