As the petition says, “The enjoyment of our wilderness areas should not be made more difficult”. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what returning to in-person walk-up permits would do.

It might be nice to have a setup where there is a financial incentive to cancel unused permits, only if cancelled at least 3 days ahead. Then out of area people could get at the cancelled permit slots on the net and unused permits, cancelled or not, could be picked up by walk-up. Walk-up can be handled without face-to-face contact by showing a cell phone number through the window or by CCTV so the applicant can be called in the parking lot or perform the transaction entirely by two way CCTV.
