Reservations
Central Cascades Wilderness Permit Requirements
A specific Central Cascades Wilderness Permit is mandatory for many popular day-use and overnight areas, including the Three Sisters and Mt. Jefferson Wilderness, typically from mid-June through September. Reservations must be secured via the official government portal, often months in advance, though a limited number may be released shortly before the date. This system is separate from general forest access passes like the Northwest Forest Pass.
