Permit application for Enchantments = denied two years in a row
Wonderland Trail application = denied two years in a row
While I wait in utter hopelessness for the results of the 2018 Wonderland permit lottery, I'm thinking its time to move on. My new plan is to attempt to get a walk-up permit for WT, and to have a solid backup hike planned if that doesn't pan out. My wife has family out there who can shuttle me around, so I'm not concerned with my back up plan being close to Rainier. I just want to be in the Cascades.
Does anyone have a suggestion on trails or areas to check out? Looking to spend anywhere from 4 to 8 nights on a trail.
