No Waterton permit pickup this year

Post by McKee80 »

In the course of planning my epic adventure, I found out that due to the fires last year, Waterton will not be issuing GNP permits this year. I saw it on the website, then called and talked to a guy at GNP who confirmed. I don't know if that will change, but it won't change before March 15 :). Anyway, I'm going to have to devise a new plan, as my old one had me flying into Calgary and starting my trip in Goat Haunt (unless I want to factor in driving to St Mary's and back). Just wanted to throw that out there for anyone planning something similar.
