Do I need a permit for my visit?
Permits are required for a variety of reasons. Anyone who is paid to bring people to the park or guide people in the park needs a CUA guiding permit. If you're planning on doing photography with models or props, having a wedding, scattering ashes, exercising first amendment rights, or any special event or activity, you should also have a permit.
How much do permits cost?
A CUA guiding permit is $250. You will need one for photography, filming, or guiding. All other permits are $50. Some park uses require monitoring by park staff or rehabilitation of damaged resources, which can result in extra costs.
Will I need insurance?
You will need insurance for any guiding activity or photography involving models or props.
