We got the overnight Camping Wilderness Permit!  There will be a small  cost to be shared associated to the permit. Each member of the party must also pay the Mount Rainier climbing fee prior to their arrival to pick up their actual permit. Climbing fees must be paid online at paygov via this link https://www.pay.gov/public/form/start/79997374.

This climbing fee will be good for the entire year so if you do other climbs above 10,000 ft at Mount Rainier, you will be covered.
