Cosley Campsite to Bear Mountain Overlook

I scanned through what I could find on Bear Mountain Overlook and didn't find an answer, but my apologies if this has been asked and answered before: What is the distance from the Cosley Lake Campsite to the spur trail junction for the Bear Mountain Overlook? We will be backpacking from Mokowanis La...

And apparently I also don't know how to properly use the quote feature. Sorry about that.

Re: 2018 Backcountry Permit Buzz

You're welcome! And now that "you're in" so to speak 8) You might consider a couple changes when you pick up your permit---if you want, and they are available. You'll be going essentially "down hill" the first day. So try to get GLF changed to GLH(preferred) or even MOJ. Yes, th...

Re: 2018 Backcountry Permit Buzz

It finally came! Second choice itinerary and they shifted my dates two days earlier, but I got in so I can't complain too much. Timestamp was 10:08:00 and I got booted twice, if that means anything anymore. Pretty similar to the itinerary that mfster and pete have been discussing, so I've been follo...

Re: 2018 Backcountry Permit Buzz

Is it correct to assume they will not be checking permits today (Good Friday) through Sunday, and will begin again on Monday?

Re: 2018 Backcountry Permit Buzz

Well the workaround did work for a couple of days but now all I get when I click on the campsites is "500 - Internal Server Error". Can anyone else get to it still? When I click on the link (which I have in my browser favorites from last year) it takes me to the overall map and that is st...

Re: 2018 Backcountry Permit Buzz

PS BombDiggity...it all depends on what route (how popular) you applied for and how wide a window of dates you were willing to accept. The wider the window, the better the chances.... Thanks for the response. First choice was the North Circle so I don't feel great about my chances. But I did extend...

Re: 2018 Backcountry Permit Buzz

Hi all. I registered for an account just to say I had the same problem as all of you. It wouldn't accept a credit card payment. I had to go back twice and eventually paid by bank account and that went through at 10:08. I gave 4 itinerary options with the willingness to have campsites changed or dire...
