Reply To: No Summit option for Fish Creek/ Aspen Grove Trailhead Permit

Mike —

My recollection from a number of years ago is that there are two separate types of camping permit.  Most people stay in what are listed as campgrounds, such as Vivian or High Creek, and for which the normal permits are assigned.  The summit area is not considered a campround.  It is covered by what was, I think, called wilderness camping.  There are separate permits and regulations for wilderness camping.

Since the Mill Creek Visitor Center is now open, I recommend that you call them for information on the relevant permit.
