Commercial Filming and Photography in the national parks

Regulations specific to this park

Those who are photographing, videotaping, or filming a wedding in the park are covered under the wedding permit and do not need a separate commercial filming permit.

A fee of $50.00 is required to apply for a filming permit in the park; this is an application processing fee and is payable whether or not the filming can be scheduled. Additional fees are payable depending on the place where the filming will take place and the use of staff time involved in the event.

To begin arrangements for filming in this park, please download the appropriate application (pdf) at the right (See below for descriptions) and link to PERMITS: Application Process and Cost.
