Reply To: Day hike permits no longer required – end of an era… Thoughts?

[zippetydude]

So there is no need at all for a permit when I do a day hike? Do I read that correctly?  Also, does anyone know if there is a contingency plan in place so that if it does suddenly get overrun then the permit system could be reinstated quickly and effectively?  Or perhaps just have the permit system in place from May through August? I have visions of hundreds of people heading up and down Vivian Creek Trail on summer weekends…
