You can print one from my website http://recordalley.com/SanJacintoHikingPermits.aspx

Dear Mr. Stephens:

Thank you for your comments, I hope that the information I provide will be informative. It's been over a year since we moved the permit process to the inside of the ranger station and we did it for multiple reasons. It allows us to provide better customer service by being able to help at least six people at a time with pens and permits, but more importantly it gives us the opportunity to provide information to our visitors regarding trail and weather conditions, proper gear and daily safety information. In doing so, it has helped to reduce a significant number of rescues and life threatening medicals compared to years past.

At this time we do not have the means to issue daily permits. The only permits we issue in advance are for camping, and you can get the permit information on our State Park Website www.parks.ca.gov.

We understand that we have all different levels of visitors experiencing the State Park wilderness. In an effort to provide better information to the majority of those visitors, we realize that more frequent hikers like yourself may become impatient with the process. As long as you provide us a copy of your permit, and you carry a copy of it with you there is no problem with you making a copy of the permit form. We do expect it to have the current days date and an accurate description of your direction of travel. Please keep in mind that all of our rescues begin with what little bit of information we get from the wilderness permit. Short changing that information only delays the ability to receive care and support when needed.

I appreciate you sharing your concerns, and hope that you continue to enjoy the park.

With Kindest Regards,


Sue Neary

Wow, very cool! But it's funny, since i've been going into the station to get my permit i find i rather like having a little chat with the ranger at the desk.

Nice!

So I guess we'd print out a copy, fill it out, xerox it, and then mail one copy to the rangers and keep one copy on our person, yes?

I don't mind visiting the rangers, but sometimes it can get a little crowded in there when a tramload of hikers are all there at once to get permits. they used to only have one pencil, i think they have more now.

Maybe after you xerox it, you could send it to them through a quip machine

Hey jim,

Keep an original that you can make copy's from. Bring 2 filled out copy's, if you do it this way please bring one of the copy's in to us so we can file it correctly as the master copy and the other you will throw in to the mail box when your finished with your trip. Please don't mail in day hiking permits. Are there any computer guys on here that can make a digital form that I can try to get approved?
