We are finalizing some logistics based on the great responses here and I have one follow up question.
During our attempt to get the permit to enter on Sunday instead of Monday, will all four members of our party need to be present or can available permits be claimed on behalf absent party members, as long as we know all four will make the hike.
The situation is that two members of our party can be at the permit center before 11am on Saturday. The others will still be traveling to the area. I can't recall reading any specific rules on whether a lead person can pick up multiple unclaimed permits or if it is a 1:1 person to permit deal.
Any guidance appreciated.
