Anyone know where to pick up a Wilderness Permit for hiking into the Desolation Wilderness from Wright's lake? I'm planning to camp at Smith Lake.

p.s. Camping's limited at Smith, but it's a beautiful cirque.

I've been to Smith once on a scouting mission for quick overnighters. Very nice spot. I'm a bit worried about getting a spot but I'm saying my prayers and ready to fall back to Grouse Lake if necessary
Thanks again. I'll let you know how it went.

OVERNIGHT USERS – The new on-line service at http://www.recreation.gov will allow wilderness visitors to make their reservations for 50% of the quota any time of the day seven days per week.
