Bury or carry out all toilet paper and human waste. Locate the site anywhere within the assigned area on rock or snow as close to the base of the climb as possible. There are 355 miles of maintained trails, but most bivouac sites will require crosscountry travel. Know and use minimum impact camping and hiking techniques. A bivouac is a temporary, open-air encampment established between dusk and dawn and is issued only to technical climbers.
All bivouacs require permits.
Permits must be in your possession while in the backcountry. Reservations are not needed or accepted for all other bivouacs. The parking permit must be displayed on the vehicle dashboard. Due to high impact in certain bivouac zones, the number of people is restricted. These zones are listed below.
