The permits and passes behind the places in our guides: the Central Cascades Wilderness Permit's dates, costs and release windows, the other passes you meet, and what to do when you can't get one.

Weekend trip checklist

Five checks before you leave home: permits and passes, conditions, gear, food and water, and the waste plan.

Wildfire and smoke packing list

What to add to the pack when the air changes, and the checks for departure day.

PNW hot springs etiquette

Seven questions, one per pillar, to write to after a day outside.

Use them with the guides

Each sheet points back to the guides and agency pages it came from. The permits sheet follows our two Central Cascades permit guides, the etiquette sheet goes with the hot springs page, and the journal follows the seven pillars of RESPECT Through Recreation™.
