Appreciation post: After years of trying, getting a spot on the West Coast Trail showed me how important early planning is.

Yeah, early planning is a GAME changer. I tried to get a permit for the Enchantments last year and missed out because I was a day late. This time, I set an alarm for 7 AM exactly when bookings opened and got lucky. The system is just so tough now.

Years of trying" is a long time. What was the one thing that finally worked with your early planning this time?

Honestly? Just pure luck. Refreshed at the exact second and my internet didn't crash. That's it.
