Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park
Other Sierra Nevada Permit Issue Stations
 

Throughout the Sierra Nevada, wilderness permits are issued based on your entry trailhead. That permit is then valid for all travel within that particular trip. We work cooperatively with several neighboring national forests that issue permits valid for travel into the Sequoia & Kings Canyon (SEKI) Wilderness. 

In broad terms, the Inyo National Forest issues permits from the east, the Sequoia National Forest issues permits from the south, and the Sierra National Forest issues permits from the north and northwest.

Did You Know?
Picnic areas are a major source of problem bears. Bears quickly lose their fear of humans when allowed access to our food. They wind up dead, hit by cars or shot because they threaten people. Store all food immediately on arrival, stay close to food at tables, and put all trash in bearproof cans!
