Wonderland Trail permit

Wonderland itinerary

Every published mile marker on the Wonderland route, in order, with the distance and elevation change between each one — and which permit each stretch needs. To watch dates and set alerts, go to the Wonderland Trail permit page.

Which permit covers this route

The Wonderland. One reservation is an ordered sequence of nights at named sites, issued by lottery.

26 of the stops below are camps this permit sells a night at, and each one is marked. One trip books a sequence of them, not all of them.

How long it takes: Up to 13 consecutive nights per permit. That is the figure the permit publishes — this page does not divide the route into days, because no source records which stop you sleep at.

The stops below are the camps this permit sells, listed in the order the route runs them, with the mile positions the booking system publishes.

Distance and elevation change on each leg are the difference between the two published figures either side of it, so the legs are arithmetic on the markers and nothing more.

Adding up only the climbs between markers gives 16,250 ft, which is a floor rather than the total: anything that rises and falls between two markers is invisible to it.
