Permits & Reservations

Reservations can be made for camping and use of the horse corral campsites. Wilderness use permits are required for all overnight backpacking in the park and free permits are required for riding horses on park trails. Special Use Permits are required for short-term activities that take place in the park area which provide a benefit to an individual, group or organization, rather than the public at large.
