I know the relevance of this released permit has passed given that it's a week later, but to shed some light on the lack of responses, the USFS closed access to all routes on Maroon Peak (including the traverse) that day to perform recovery operations for a deceased climber. This likely dissuaded other climbers and tourists alike from visiting the area.

Yeah kinda figured there would be little demand for the parking pass. Our plans were actually to trail run the Four Pass loop that day, fell through after tweaking an injury the day before
