This trip requires a special permit, which we have already obtained. The permit only allows 4 people to camp at designated sites listed on our permit. You'll be expected to pay for your share of the permit if this trip is held.
We can't increase the number of people on this trip because the permit limits us to 4 people max.

Forecast of bad weather will probably result in trip cancellation.
