They give you a piece of paper to put on your windshield. I plan on going back next weekend actually and hoping for better luck with weather. Thanks for the kind words about the pics! I uses a Canon SD1000 for when I'm doing long hikes and a Nikon D90 when I'm close to the car, most of those pictures were taken with the Canon. Jason,

I hiked in after dark, had some route finding issues and ended up at Loch Vale instead of Black Lake. By then it was too late to backtrack. I'm curious though, did your group have any issues with overnight parking tickets at the glacier gorge TH? I returned the next morning to a $75 fine which added insult to injury. I drool over getting this route done but I'm afraid of getting my car towed if I try again. By the by your pictures from Princeton are excellent what kind of camera are you using?
