Permits[edit]
This canyoneering route is within Snow Canyon State Park and requires a permit to descend it. Permits can be obtained online through the Snow Canyon State Park website: https://stateparks.utah.gov/parks/snow-canyon/canyoneering-permits/
Group-Size Limit: Group size is limited to 6. A group is any people sharing the same affiliation (school club, scout troop, family, friends, business). Any group splitting to avoid the size limit for the trips on the same route, on the same day, is a permit violation. Group mergers are also prohibited.
Daily Quota: There may be a daily quota that caps the number of permits given out, but if one is in place, and what the limit may be, is not made clear.
Cost: Permits cost $8.00 The website says that "Each permit is good for up to six people" but it is unclear if it is $8 total for up to 6 people, or $8 per person up to 6 people.
How to Purchase Permits[edit]
The website is super confusing and at the time of this posting it was too unclear to document.
Park Entrance Fee:[edit]
A park entrance fee is required to enter Snow Canyon State Park. Information and entrance rates for Snow Canyon State Park entrance fees is available via the park website: https://stateparks.utah.gov/parks/snow-canyon/park-fees/
