What the service does

Summit Charms Permit Alerts is a free service from Summit Charms. We watch the permits, dates and group size you pick on Recreation.gov and text you when enough spots appear to be open. Summit Charms is independent and isn't affiliated with Recreation.gov, the Forest Service, the National Park Service or the Bureau of Land Management. We don't book, hold or buy permits, and we can't promise that a spot will still be open, that a text will arrive in time, or that you'll get a permit.

Text messages

By checking the consent box and confirming your phone, you agree to get recurring automated Summit Charms Permit Alerts texts about the permits you picked. Message frequency varies with availability. Message and data rates may apply. Consent isn't a condition of any purchase.

If you also check the optional box, Summit Charms may send you one marketing text after your last date about turning your summit photo into a charm. That's separate from the alerts, and you can get alerts without it.

Reply STOP to any text to opt out. Reply HELP for help, or see permit alert help. Carriers aren't liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Your part

Sign up only your own phone number, keep your dates and group size right, and book through Recreation.gov yourself under its rules. Don't use the service to get around any agency or booking rule.

Changes and contact

We may change, pause or end the service, including every winter. Questions: support@mysummitcharms.com.
