Most of our park visitors will not need a special permit. The receipt from paying your entrance fee or the presentation of your America the Beautiful pass is your permit for a general visit to the park.
Visitors using the park grounds for commercial activities or private events do need a permit. Please read the Special Use Permit Policy document to see if your planned event needs a permit. If you have questions not answered within these documents please call the park, we'll be happy to assist or suggest possible alternatives.
