How far ahead to book Chilkoot

For May weekends, book about 89 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 48 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns

Arrival month	Fri/Sat arrivals: half booked at least	A quarter at least	Other days: half booked at least	A quarter at least
May	48 days ahead	89 days ahead	32 days ahead	58 days ahead
June	23 days ahead	55 days ahead	25 days ahead	56 days ahead
July	43 days ahead	87 days ahead	33 days ahead	71 days ahead
August	29 days ahead	49 days ahead	24 days ahead	47 days ahead
September	18 days ahead	49 days ahead	—	—

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,788 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
