2015 PCT Thru-hiker Permit Changes

[Aaron Zagrodnick]

Northbound 50/day permit limitation just announced:

A maximum of 50 permits will be allowed each day for long-distance hikers and horseback riders starting at or near the Mexican border. This limit will naturally spread start days. When days fill up, you’re encouraged to still follow your dreams to hike the PCT – but please do so at less popular times and locations. Consider an alternative thru-hike: perhaps starting elsewhere and then flipping around to complete the trail in a unique way.
