Appreciate the insight into getting permits . Definitely not the most straightforward system. No plans on any national parks, but now if we do, at least I have a good idea on how to get permits.
It took us awhile to figure out a good flow with it, and of course we started on our phones which is not the easiest way to see where everything is at! Definitely use a computer (I don't even think the map option is available on phones)
