Day Use Wilderness Permit | Mount San Jacinto State Park and Wilderness

Day Use Wilderness Permits are required for any day hike into the vast Mount San Jacinto Wilderness. These permits are free and available 24 hours. Please confirm whether you are starting your hike via the Palm Springs tramway or by driving to Idyllwild, as it is a substantial drive from one corner of the park to the other. One person may fill out the permit for the hiking group (up to 15 people), provided everyone is hiking together at all times. When you fill out your permit, take the carbon copy with you on your hike and place the original copy in the box labeled "Permits." You may acquire one by:

-Visiting Park Headquarters at the Idyllwild Campground. Permits are available on the porch.
-Visiting Stone Creek Campground in Idyllwild, open May through October. Permits are available at the display board near day-use parking.
-Visiting the Long Valley Ranger Station at the top of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Permits are available on the porch. You may need to inquire for a permit inside the ranger station during business hours.
