Many of the rivers are crossed on primitive log bridges which can wash away during heavy rain or when there is a lot of snow melt in the rivers. Most of the bridges washed away during a major storm in November 2006, so much of the trail is expected to be impassable to most hikers throughout 2007. </p><p>The main hiking season is late summer, which is often dry and sunny. However, Mount Rainier's high elevation and proximity to the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Ocean" title="Pacific Ocean">Pacific Ocean</a> can also bring moisture as rain or snow to the trail. In many years, the Wonderland Trail is still mostly snow-covered during June and early July. </p><p>The traditional route between Mowich Lake and the <a href="/wiki/Carbon_River" title="Carbon River">Carbon River</a> is via Ipsut Pass and Ipsut Creek.

Eighteen trailside camps, 3 to 7 miles (5 to 11 km) apart, are located along the Wonderland Trail. Each camp has 1 to 8 sites for 1 to 5 persons per site. These sites will hold at most 2 tents. Parties requiring space for 3 or more tents must camp in a group site. Group sites are available at certain camps for parties of 6 to 12 persons. These sites typically hold 3-5 tents. Each camp has cleared <a href="/wiki/Tent" title="Tent">tent</a> sites, a pit or composting toilet, <a href="/wiki/Bear_pole" class="mw-redirect" title="Bear pole">bear pole</a> for hanging food, and a nearby water source. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Wilderness_Camping_Permits">Wilderness Camping Permits</h2></div> <p>A backcountry permit, including reservations for designated camping areas, is required to hike the Wonderland Trail. Advance reservations for permits can normally be submitted starting March 15 each year, with a lottery normally taking place on April 1 to attempt to meet the permit requests of as many hikers as possible. </p><p>Due to the damage suffered as the result of a flood in November 2006 the park service did not accept reservations for the 2007 summer season for attempts to hike the entire Wonderland Trail.
