# Backcountry permit and trip window for an outfitter

For the wilderness or permit area name, group size and the target month.

## 1. Permit supply

1. Find the permit with @[Recreation.gov · Search](alexandria:recreation-gov/camping-availability/search) (`entity_type` permit) and carry the permit id.
2. Read @[Recreation.gov · Permit availability](alexandria:recreation-gov/camping-availability/permit_availability) for the month. Keep entry points and dates with enough quota for the group.

## 2. Hazards

3. Read @[Wildfire Risk to Communities · Wildfire risk for geometry](alexandria:wildfirerisk-org/wildfire-risk/wildfire_risk_for_geometry) for the area's coordinates and note the risk class.
4. Check @[National Weather Service · Alerts active](alexandria:api-weather-gov/weather/alerts_active) for the area: red flag, flood or winter storm alerts.

## 3. Typical conditions

5. Read @[ACIS · Monthly climate history](alexandria:rcc-acis-org/weather-history/monthly_climate_history) for the area to see how wet and warm the target month has run in recent years.

## Write the window list

- **Windows:** start date, entry point, quota left, nights, climate note.
- **Hazards:** wildfire risk class, active alerts, and a cancellation trigger the guide can apply.
- **Booking plan:** the best two windows with a backup entry point each.
- **Sources:** cite each fact to its capability and date. Snow depth is not covered here; say what could not be found.
