wilderness permit
Hiking entry document
A wilderness permit is an official document required to enter or camp in designated wilderness areas, typically issued by land management agencies.
Permits limit visitor numbers to protect fragile ecosystems and ensure solitary experiences: We reserved our wilderness permit months in advance for the John Muir Trail.
Some are free; popular areas may require fees or lottery systems.
