Applying well in advance is recommended, although a small number of same day permits are sometimes available. There is a fee of $10 per permit plus a fee of $5 per night per person. Mail requests for backcountry permit information, including the permit form, to Backcountry Information Center, Grand Canyon National Park, P.O. Box 129, Grand Canyon, AZ 86023, or telephone: (928) 638-7875, from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. MST.
