Tips
- →Book at 8 a.m. Central exactly 5 months out — popular weekends sell out in minutes, not hours
- →All campsites are walk-in tent only, so pack accordingly
- →The park closes to day visitors when capacity is reached (often by 10am on weekends) — campers get guaranteed entry
- →Bring a headlamp for the walk back from the summit at night — the stargazing up top is unreal
- →No shade at the summit — start your hike early in summer or bring plenty of water
