About

Bureau of Land Management

You must have a permit to visit Paria Canyon. All permits are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Paria Canyon's outstanding scenery, desert wildlife, colorful history, and opportunities for primitive recreation are protected for future generations. Its 112,500 acres beckon adventurers who enjoy experiencing the scenic splendor of wilderness and the chance to explore one of the longest and deepest slot canyons in the world. To protect these areas, in 1984 Congress created the Paria Canyon – Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness.

Overnight Use Permits

You must reserve a permit in advance for overnight use. There is a limit on overnight use in the canyon to 20 people per day. Overnight users must display the permit on the outside of their backpack, and on the dashboard of their vehicle.

Fee Info

$5 per person and/or dog, per night.

Reservation Info

Permit Information

Permits are non-refundable. No Rainchecks. A valid government issued I.D. is required upon permit pick-up. Your trip must begin only on the reserved entry date; overnight trips that begin on a day other than the permit entry date are considered invalid, even if you begin on a day that would have been covered by the permit dates. Permits MUST be picked up in-person no sooner than 10 days before your trip begins. You can pick up your permit year-round at either the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in St. George, UT or seasonally at the Paria Contact Station or the BLM Kanab Field Office. Check pickup location hours under the "Getting Here" tab so you can plan accordingly. Upon permit pick-up, you will receive human waste bags (required within the entire canyon), a permit, a brochure, and a condition update.
