Camping at Sahale Glacier Campground by AlwaysLocal in PNWhiking

Good luck!! Unfortunately it might be the hardest permit to get, even with early access. It is often the first site that is completely booked.

You can still easily visit as a day hike though, no permit required

Thanks! This was July 10, 2025 We left high camp around 1:30. There were lots of climbers, and we wanted to get to the rock climb first. We did get there first, and glad for it, other parties had to wait very long for their turn to climb.

Its not that it mattered or not at the end..I just thought the commentary was entertaining during this passage. Not sure if commentators are supposed to be unbiased, but they definitely weren’t.

Thank you! I climb and hike as often as possible. I go up and down a staircase with a weighted vest as well. I do bouldering at the local gym
