River Permits


Listen Later

Do you rally up your river friends each January and coordinate your river permit dates?  Do you get permits?  Do you wonder who is behind the curtain of rec.gov and the permitting offices?  This episode asked all those questions and spoke with the river permitting "boss" at rec.gov, and the river permit offices at Dinosaur National Monument, Salmon-Challis National Forest in Idaho and Grand Canyon National Park.  There are people behind the curtain, they are very friendly and shared with The River Radius information to help all of us better understand the why and the how of the river permit systems.  

Each river office has a website with relevant information and deep statistical data that tells a story of each seasons application numbers.  Here they are:

Dinosaur National Monument main river info page

Idaho 4 Rivers main river info page

Grand Canyon National Park, River Lottery

Grand Canyon National Park, River Lottery statistics

Recreation One Stop (rec.gov)

Over the summers of 2018 and 2019 archeological research has been conducted on the Selway to clarify and protect the artifacts in the river valley. Jeff Adams explains as much as he can, the story of humans along the Selway long before the Europeans arrived.
