Thanks, GroovyDad and Occidental for your comments. I hope you get to take the trip yourselves.
You should already have your permits. This is prime time and they are typically reserved months in advance. You can apply via the NPS website. Occasionally, there are cancellations; check at the Island in the Sky visitor center.SeatoSea said:We're headed there in a week, can an F150 off road, with hawk make the whole trail?
Did you have problems with permits? Planning 2 nights?
You reserve permits at https://canypermits.nps.gov/index.cfm a quick glance and almost every site is booked solid for the next three weeks. Airport A is open on the 25th and there are a few sites open on June 1st.Bosque Bill said:You should already have your permits. This is prime time and they are typically reserved months in advance.

is your F-150 4WD? I would not attempt it without 4x4 LOW gearing. Cayuse carried a Hawk on the back of his 4x4 Tundra without problems.
Thanks, I'll check in when I get there for availability!Bosque Bill said:You should already have your permits. This is prime time and they are typically reserved months in advance.

Woot! Just made reservations for November!! I'll spend the next four months thinking about this trip and doing research. Thanks again for the post and inspiration.Bosque Bill said:Thanks, GroovyDad and Occidental for your comments. I hope you get to take the trip yourselves.
Not my write-up. That was Bosque Bill that wrote up the trip. I enjoy planning the trip and am happy to answer questions about areas but when it comes to writing trip reports and summarizing adventures i fail miserably so don't even try anymore.mitch h said:Cayuse, great right up and pics. We really wanted to go this Sept., something came up, so we can't go this year. Maybe next fall with a little luck. I enjoyed your trip. Mitch
