The permit alert service for serious outdoors
PermitSnag monitors permit availability and cancellations across hundreds of national parks and wilderness areas — then notifies you the moment a window opens. No more checking every hour. No more missed trips.
Permit Available!
Half Dome — Jun 14, 2 spots open
Search for your destination — Half Dome, The Wave, Enchantments, or any of 500+ parks. Add them to your watchlist with your preferred dates.
PermitSnag scans around the clock — especially during high-churn windows, weather shifts, and peak cancellation periods. You focus on training.
Instant alert hits your phone the moment a permit opens. You book before anyone else. Or let group coordination handle it for your whole crew.
Most permit tools are just email reminders. PermitSnag is built for the way actual outdoor people plan trips — with groups, contingencies, and tight windows.
When five friends each enter a 10% lottery, your combined chance is ~41%. PermitSnag coordinates your entire crew so nobody misses the window.
Bad weather creates cancellations. PermitSnag increases scan frequency when conditions shift — so you catch the spots others miss.
You don't need another app to manage. PermitSnag stays out of your way until something opens — then it's fast, direct, and gone.
From Zion permits to Enchantments to Half Dome — if access depends on a permit or cancellation, it belongs on your PermitSnag watchlist.
And 500+ more. If it needs a permit, we watch it.
Stop letting the permits win.
