Hey Steve. I had requested permits for 8 on every weekend in Sept., hoping that would be late enough in the season and making it easier for the out of state folks. I looked at the unused list from last year and it seems like walking in on a Thursday or Friday might still be a possibility in Sept.. I wonder though if it might just be smarter to either go mid week or push to early Oct. and get a weekend. All my out of staters are hikers but have never done a 14er and I don't think it would be to wise or kind to ask them to do it as a day hike. What do you think would be the best choice of those two? Mid week or chance the weather in early Oct.?
