6-7.

Lottery Process: After 4pm on March 7, lottery requests will be randomly
selected and assigned a priority number. The next day, park staff will
begin to contact applicants in order of their priority number to confirm
dates. If the applicant is not available at the time of the call, a
phone message will be left and, if e-mail address is provided, an e-mail
will be sent. The applicant has until 4:00 pm the following day to
respond, at which point staff may tentatively assign the requested
dates, or may move to the next person on the list if those dates are not
available. If an applicant wants more than one reservation, they will be
contacted for the second date after all lottery applicants have first
been offered reservations. Be patient; it may take time to reach all
applicants. If you have not heard from the park by April 1, please
contact us at 970-641-2337 x205.

Directions to the trailhead and further information will be provided
when the reservation is confirmed.

Cancellations:

If a permit holder wishes to cancel a reservation, they should contact
the Elk Creek Visitor Center at 970-641-2337 x205. Reservations may not
be transferred. Cancelled reservation dates will be offered to the next
person on the lottery priority list who had requested that date.
