Hello I received an enchantments permit and was wondering if anyone had experience bringing an extra person along. I have 8 confirmed people (including myself) but another person I knows really wants to go. If there is a high chance of being turned around or fined due to exceeding the party size then I will just tell them sorry but would really like to bring them along.
Apologies if this has been discussed before but searching from my phone proved to be tedious.
Thanks for your time!

Expect forest service personnel to check your permit and your party. Fines can be substantial and you'll be banned from entering the lottery for a number of years.

These days you get these guys crawling thru the woods on all fours going under bushes and whatnot. Camo'd up. Surviving off bugs, remaining undetected thru the woods for 2-3 weeks to gain access to The Enchantments!! It remains BIG DEAL to gain access to The Enchantments.

As Randito noted, you should expect to run into a ranger. They regularly patrol the Enchantments, and will check permits. Every time I have visited the area, even for a dayhike, I've run into a Ranger at the trailhead or on the trail. You should also expect other parties to report you: no one likes it when someone else thinks the rules don't apply to them.

No one will suspect a thing if you dress like a goat.

Unless the funny-looking "goat" doesn't lick pee. You gotta play the part, or you'll get busted.

Maybe it's easier to pass for an Enchantments panda.
