Description

National Park Service

Canyonlands National Park

If you're planning an overnight trip into the backcountry of Canyonlands National Park or the Orange Cliffs Unit of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, you must have a permit. Canyonlands National Park issues permits for the Orange Cliffs Unit, which shares Canyonlands' western boundary and the same backcountry management plan, permits, and reservation system.

You must have a printed and signed permit in your possession during your entire trip. A permit is not valid from any mobile device.

BACKCOUNTRY PERMITS Day-Use Permits Overnight Permits River Permits Horse/Stock Permits

Advance reservations are not required but we strongly recommend it. Overnight permits are very competitive for White Rim trips in spring and fall and Needles backpacking trips in spring. For these activities, we recommend you apply as early as possible. Space is limited. Any campsites and permits not reserved in advance may be made available first-come, first-served at visitor centers.

Spring permits (March 10 – June 9) open November 10. Summer permits (June 10 – September 9) open February 10. Fall permits (September 10 – December 9) open May 10. Winter permits (December 10 – March 9) open August 10. Permits will open at 8 am MT.
