[**RETURN TO THE WILDERNESS CAMPING AND HIKING
HOMEPAGE**](http://www.nps.gov/mora/planyourvisit/wilderness-camping-and-hiking.htm)

**A wilderness camping permit is required year around for camping or
climbing in the park**. **[Car
camping](http://www.nps.gov/mora/planyourvisit/campgrounds.htm) does not
require a wilderness permit.**

**GENERAL CONDITIONS UPDATE: August 5, 2007**

**Bugs and wildflowers are in full swing.**

**Terms: "Bucked out" means that trees that have fallen across the trail
have been cut and cleared from the trail. "Wanded" means there are small
bamboo flags marking a trail, usually through snow. "WT" means
Wonderland Trail.**

![](media/image2.jpeg){width="2.875in"
height="2.15625in"}[**NEWS**:]{.mark} **The park is now accepting
Wonderland Trail reservations.**

**In early November, 2006, the park experienced [severe
flooding](http://www.nps.gov/mora/parknews/november-2006-flooding.htm)
secondary to record rains. Following the flooding the park experienced
winds in excess of 100 mph. The Wonderland Trail (WT) suffered serious
damage in multiple locations. It will take several years to repair all
the damage. Until melt-out it is hard to know the exact extent of the
damage. There are several camps along the WT that were either damaged or
are not accessible and are currently closed to camping (see below).**

**Route finding skills and avalanche awareness are essential for travel
at higher elevations during winter and spring.**

**Please Note:  Do not leave valuables in your car. While break-ins are
infrequent they do occur**.
