WHO NEEDS AN OVERNIGHT PERMIT Anyone camping in the backcountry is required to obtain a permit. The permit must be in your possession during the trip (printed or available on a mobile device). Group sizes and number of vehicles are limited (see "How Does the Quota Work for this Permit?" in the Overview section). BEFORE YOU RESERVE YOUR PERMIT: 1. Make a realistic plan and review trail maps. Identify the designated campsites, at-large zones, and trailheads you will use. 2. You are responsible for abiding by all park rules and regulations. Review the Canyonlands Backcountry Regulations, 3. Watch the videos most related to your itinerary: Hiking and Backpacking - Canyonlands White Rim Road (Island in the Sky District) Needles and Maze 4WD Technical Roads For more trip planning information visit the Backcountry page on the park website. Do not hesitate to contact the Backcountry Permit Office (email canyres@nps.gov or call ((435) 241-3110) for planning assistance. For trips in The Maze, contact Hans Flat Ranger Station at (435) 241-3105. OTHER THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BOOK YOUR RESERVATION: Booking: When making your reservation, you may select up to 14 consecutive nights. Select the campsite you would like to stay at, then select the adjacent column for the next night. You may need to scroll down to find your desired site/zone. Note: You are booking the campsite or at- large zone you will be camping in on the date indicated at the top of the column. You will not be able to change the start date after booking. There is a $36 non-refundable fee for each permit. If you accidentally book a separate permit for each night, it will cost $36 for each permit. There are no refunds for multiple reservations. There is no need to book day use permits for the same dates as your overnight permit. Packraft Trips: If you are accessing the river corridor on foot and plan to only float on flatwater you may select ‘Packraft: Night on the River’ for the nights spent in the river corridor (1/2 mile (.8 km) or 1,000 vertical feet (304 m) of the river). Packrafters must reserve campsites or at-large zones for each night spent outside of the river corridor and must abide by specific regulations and required equipment. If your itinerary starts on a trail and you are boating whitewater, you must obtain a Canyonlands Overnight River Permit and select the entry point "Cataract Canyon". All river trips launching and taking out at boat ramps must obtain Overnight River Permits. Please contact the Backcountry Permit Office before booking with any questions and to ensure you are booking the permit correctly. You may email canyres@nps.gov or call 435-241-3110. Water is the most important consideration. The average backpacking trip is 2 nights due to the lack of reliable water sources. There are very few reliable water sources in the backcountry. You should plan to carry as much water as possible (up to 1 gallon/4 L per person per day). If you would like to place a water or supply cache contact the Backcountry Permit Office via email (canyres@nps.gov) A high-clearance, low-range 4x4 vehicle is required for all backcountry roads (All-Wheel Drive (AWD), ATVs, UTVs or OHVs are not allowed). Vehicles on the White Rim Road cannot exceed 10' in height to clear rock overhangs. Roads in the Needles and Maze Districts require technical 4x4 skills. Roads may be impassable due to flooding and quicksand. Check the road conditions prior to your trip. Plan to travel in groups of 2 or more self-rescue capable vehicles. Towing recovery costs can exceed $2000. "At large" backpacking zones are not a "backup plan" for vehicle camping when designated campsites are full. These zones require route finding skills, following different regulations, a high degree of planning, and are very strenuous. Do not book at-large zones for camping unless you are prepared. You may only camp within the boundaries of the campsite(s) or zone(s) you reserve. If you reserve a zone permit, make sure you plan your trip ahead of time and know the boundaries of your zone. Camping within 1/2 mile (.8 KM) or 1,000 vertical feet (304 m) of the rivers is not allowed without a packraft or river permit and all required equipment. Overview maps of backpacking zones are available on the park website. Topographic maps for backcountry trips are available at the Park Store If your itinerary includes designated campsites, you are only permitted to camp in that site on the date indicated on your permit. For example, selecting the "Shafer Campsite" does not permit you to enter via the Shafer Trailhead and camp elsewhere on the White Rim Road. It only permits you to camp in the Shafer Campsite for the specific dates indicated on your permit/reservation. Food/Trash Storage. A park approved, hard-sided animal resistant food canister is required for the Salt Creek designated campsites, the Salt Creek/Horse Canyon Zone, and the Peekaboo campsites. Always store food and anything aromatic- toothpaste, sunscreen, lotions- securely to prevent animals from gaining access to it. Never leave food, even in your pack, unattended. Never feed wildlife. Securing food in a container (Ursack or ratsack) is HIGHLY recommended in Chesler Park. Human Waste. You must have a commercial human waste disposal bag at all designated backpack campsites and a washable/reusable toilet system at all Maze district vehicle campsites and the Peekaboo and New Bates Wilson campsites in the Needles. Pets. Pets are not allowed in the backcountry, even inside of vehicles. Park Entrance Fee. The park charges an entrance fee which you may pay upon arrival or purchase a few days in advance (permits for the Maze should plan to pay in advance). The park also honors valid annual or lifetime America the Beautiful-the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Passes (e.g. Senior, Military, 4th Grade, etc.) For more information visit the park's Fees & Passes web page.
