Zion National Park
Walk-In Permits
 

A limited number of walk-in permits are available for all backcountry areas. 50-75% of the total number of backcountry permits will be available as reservations. The remainder will be available as walk-in permits.

Any Backcountry camp or day-use canyon not reserved by lottery or calendar, are available as a walk-in permit.

Walk-in permits are only available the day before or the day of a trip.

During weekends and holidays, from April through the middle of October each year, permits may be difficult to obtain for; Subway (Left Fork of North Creek) Mystery Canyon, Virgin River Narrows and West Rim. During that time you may have greatest success in obtaining a walk-in permit if you arrive at the Zion Canyon Backcountry window or desk the day before your intended trip.
