An additional fee is required for this service but it is a way to avoid disappointment. All commercial operators will contribute to the support and maintenance of the wilderness through separate agreements or through their clients' purchases of the Wilderness Pass. Wilderness users and other stakeholders will continue to be consulted through visitor surveys and personal contact. We appreciate any comments and constructive suggestions with respect to wilderness fees. Survey results show that people agree with paying part of the cost of wilderness opportunities.
Refunds are available under certain circumstances.
For specific information check at park information centers. While visiting you will likely see Park Wardens patrolling. They will also be checking for your Wilderness Pass so please make it available upon request. Wilderness travel, while rewarding, can be strenuous, know your physical limits. Remember, your safety is your personal responsibility.
