WILDERNESS PERMIT REQUEST
INSTRUCTIONS
Welcome to the San Gorgonio Wilderness. To ensure a
unique experience and a safe trip, it is in the visitor’s best interest
to be both well informed and adequately prepared prior to entering the
Wilderness. With this in mind please take the time to read the following
information before starting the application process:
It is highly recommended that visitors get a
detailed map of the San Gorgonio Wilderness prior to planning their
trip. The map, and other hiking essentials, along with the
Wilderness permit should be carried with you throughout your
visit. Maps may be purchased at the San Bernardino National Forest
Ranger stations, local sporting goods stores, or at the
SGWA Backcountry Store on this website.
The San Gorgonio Wilderness is home to the
California Black Bear. While bear encounters are not common in the
Wilderness, knowing what to do and what not to do while recreating
in their habitat is vital. To help ensure your safety, as well as
the safety of the bears, we encourage all visitors to read the
bear awareness information found here.
The National Forest Adventure Pass is required
for each car parked at any of the eight trailheads for the
San Gorgonio Wilderness. The Adventure Pass is in addition to the
Wilderness permit. Here are a few guidelines to avoid any confusion
between the two: The Adventure Pass is purchased and then
displayed in your parked vehicle. The Wilderness permit is
free and is carried on your person while hiking. For
