UTAH - NPS Proposes Implementing Day Use Permit for the White Rim and
Elephant Hill Roads

Last Chance To Comment!

Greetings BRC Action Alert Subscribers,

The National Park Service (NPS) is seeking public comment on a
proposal to require permits for all motor vehicle and bicycle day use
on the White Rim and Elephant Hill roads in Canyonlands National Park.
Requiring permits for day use on these increasingly popular roads will
help the park better protect resources and the visitor experience in
these wild and remote locations.

For the White Rim road, a total of 50 day use vehicle permits
(including motorcycles) and 50 day use bicycle permits will be issued
each day. Group size will be limited to three vehicles and 15
bicycles.

A total of 24 day use vehicle permits (including motorcycles) and 12
day use bicycle permits will be issued each day for the Elephant Hill
road. Group size will be limited to three vehicles and 12 bicycles.

Each motor vehicle and individual bicycle will need a permit.

No fee will be charged for these day use permits during the 2015-2016
seasons. Payment of the park entrance fee is required for day use and
will be collected with permits issued online or at the time of
entrance to the park for walk in permits. Annual Passes, Military
Passes, Senior Passes and Access Passes will be honored for entrance.

Comments regarding this day use permit proposal may be submitted
electronically through the National Park Service - Planning,
Environment & Public Comment (PEPC) website at
https://parkplanning.nps.gov/commentFor ... ntID=64683
. If comments are not able to be made via this website they may be
sent to: National Park Service, Southeast Utah Group, Attn: Planning
and Compliance Coordinator, 2282 S. West Resource Blvd, Moab, Utah
84532. Faxed comments may be sent to (435) 719-2300.

The deadline for comments is April 14, 2015.

Thanks in advance and, as always, if you have any questions or
concerns, please contact BRC.
