A little known insider secret ... show up at the Ranger Station (I
think it's near mile marker 22 or so) before 9 AM and they have 10
walk-up permits for that day available, in addition to the 10 available
7 months earlier (which are always sold out in minutes). If more than
10 people are there they have a drawing to see who gets in.

Since this three week period is likely to have very high temperatures
(possibly life-threateningly high) I'd guess demand will be weak. Also
note that in summer when you're there there's a decent chance of
monsoon rains and this will likely close the access road where the
Buckskin Gulch crosses the road for a day or so, so I would prefer
waiting until the last minute to get a permit anyway.

Disclaimer ... this has been the policy the past 4-5 years (even though
it was not widely known or mentioned on their web site ... I found out
quite by accident) but it could change at any time, given the
fickleness of the BLM managers. Give them a call in advance to
double-check that they are still doing this.
Have a nice hike and take plenty of water.

Slight correction:

You show up in the morning and draw for 10 permits which are for the
Following Day. Reason: people often start off on this hike well before the
9:00 am drawing.
