How it works

Three steps to your next trail

01

Add your permits

Search for your destination — Half Dome, The Wave, Enchantments, or any of 500+ parks. Add them to your watchlist with your preferred dates.

02

We watch while you live

PermitSnag scans around the clock — especially during high-churn windows, weather shifts, and peak cancellation periods. You focus on training.

03

Snag the spot, hit the trail

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.

Not another permit waitlist

Most permit tools are just email reminders. PermitSnag is built for the way actual outdoor people plan trips — with groups, contingencies, and tight windows.

Group lottery coordination

When five friends each enter a 10% lottery, your combined chance is ~41%. PermitSnag coordinates your entire crew so nobody misses the window.

Weather-aware scanning

Bad weather creates cancellations. PermitSnag increases scan frequency when conditions shift — so you catch the spots others miss.

No cluttered dashboard

You don't need another app to manage. PermitSnag stays out of your way until something opens — then it's fast, direct, and gone.

500+ parks and counting

From Zion permits to Enchantments to Half Dome — if access depends on a permit or cancellation, it belongs on your PermitSnag watchlist.
