Apply as a crew
Most lotteries let every member of a party apply, and only one entry has to win. A pool keeps the applications, the dates and the result in one place so nobody in the crew misses the deadline.

When does the Cottonwood lottery open?
The managing agency has not published the next Cottonwood application window yet. PermitSnag reads the official schedule every day, and this page carries the dates the day they post.
Will PermitSnag remind me about the Cottonwood lottery?
Yes. Track Cottonwood and you get an email when applications open, another before the deadline, and one when results post. You apply once and stop watching the calendar.
