I had already written off the chance of getting a permit after hearing about the record applications, but I got a reservation confirmation yesterday in the mail. I was pretty open on sites and dates, so maybe that helped, or maybe I just got lucky. It's looking like a fairly relaxed trip, with a few short days in the middle.
Here it is – I don't know much about the trail (really, very little), so what do you think? I feel like I should be grateful for anything at this point.
Site / appx. mileage:
White River Trailhead / 0
Indian Bar / 11.1
Maple Creek / 11.2
Paradise / 6.6
Pyramid / 7.4
S. Puyallup / 9
N. Puyallup / 6.7
Golden Lakes / 4.8
Eagle's Roost / 11.5
Mystic / 11.3
White River Trailhead / 12.1
Start date is July 20. I think that was the first day in my start window.
Can anyone recommend a good book or site to help me prepare and learn more about what I'm in for?
I put 2 people on the application, but I don't have anyone confirmed yet. I'll auction off the other spot to the highest bidder… Kidding of course.
