Permit System for South Sister
This marks the first year of the permit and quota system for the Devil’s Lake trailhead up South Sister (and most other alternate trailheads you might consider for South Sister). There is a limit of 50 day hikers per day up that trail, and you’ll need to get a permit in advance. The are $1 per person, and some are reservable six months in advance, some 7 days in advance.
South Sister is the only peak in the challenge that has a trailhead quota, so learn more and get it on your calendar!
