Permits and rules

A permit is needed for the chains from Scout Lookout to the summit (the walk to Scout Lookout needs none).

The park entrance fee is separate: $35 a vehicle for 1 to 7 days, and visitors who are not US residents pay a further $100 a person aged 16 and over unless they have an annual pass (as of Nov 2026)
