In addition to Mt St Helens climbing permits, it's also get close to the start of the Enchantments lottery period. Unlike St Helens permits, there is no first-come, first-served. Instead the application window runs from February 22 - March 13, and after that the lottery is held. For more information, see the Enchantments permit page on recreation.gov. Update: there is a very good summary article on the WTA's Signpost Blog. |
