Enchantments Permit
Cancellation Alerts
The Enchantment Permit Area lottery is one of the hardest to win in the country — demand runs many times over the permits available, and most applicants come away with nothing. But permits get cancelled every day of the season, and they go straight back on Recreation.gov with no announcement. Tarn watches around the clock and alerts you by email or Telegram the instant an Enchantments permit frees up, while the opening is still fresh.
Every zone, your exact dates
Set a tracker for any Enchantments zone and the nights you want — we watch them all:
The permit season runs mid-May through October, and a Core Enchantment permit is the hardest of them all to land. Whichever zone and dates you’re after, Tarn watches for the opening and alerts you the moment one appears.
