I've gotten the lottery fewer times than day-of permits. I don't know how to win the lottery, but for day-of permits just be at the ranger station in town bright and early. Upper Snow Lake should be one of your choices. EDIT: on a weekday, especially early, like Monday.

I really don't like being in a hurry during my hikes, the whole point of being in the wilderness for me is to forget about everything else in my life. Ideally i would only like to do 5-10 miles a day even on flat trails lol. But yeah, if i never win the lottery I guess I'll have to do a day trip huh.

Thanks. I use a Canon RP.

I mostly just take pictures for myself. I tried to 'go pro' awhile ago, but I'm not that good at sales or marketing. About 90% of being a successful photographer is being good at sales and marketing...

I would really consider doing it as a day trip if you feel comfortable. Once you get over Asgaard Pass its pretty easy walking in the core and its all downhill after that. Its a big trip any way you slice it, but in hindsight I think an overnight pack would have netted out more difficult than sending it in one shot as lightly as possible
