<br />-- -~--------- <br />------ <br /> <br />F'" <br /> <br />- - -- - -- - - -- -. - <br /> <br />'__.__________ n _ _ _ _ ___ <br /> <br />In order to promote opportunities for hiking, exploration and leisurely <br />travel, boating parties will be permitted to camp up to two nights <br />in any campsite above the confluence of the Green and Yampa Rivers. <br />This restriction will only be applicable during the primary use <br />season. Extended lengths of stay may be authorized by the Suoerintendent. <br />If circumstances exist where a permittee requests permission to <br />spend more than one night in Whirlpool Canyon or more than two nights <br />in an upstream campsite, and the specified request does not conflict <br />with another group's preferred itinerary, the Superintendent may <br />authorize an exception to ,the above restrictions. <br /> <br />Boating parties who plan to take overnight hikes must obtain a <br />Backcountry Permit prior to launching and must observe monument <br />regulations governing backcountry camping. Backcountry camping is <br />not permitted along the banks of the Green and Yampa Rivers or <br />Jones Hole Creek. <br /> <br />Developed facilities in the river campsites will be minimized to <br />conform with the wilderness character of the river experience. Pit <br />toilets will be maintained but will be reduced in number to corresoond <br />with the designated group capacity for each campsite. Existing pit <br />toilet structures will be replaced with an esthetically-compatible, <br />open-air design. As time and funds permit, picnic tables will be <br />removed and fire grates will be replaced with stationary fire pans. <br /> <br />The volume of use and limited ayailability of campsites necessitates <br />campsite scheduling during the primary use season. Each permittee <br />will be assigned specific campsites at the time a boating permit is <br />issued. Campsite assignments will be made on the basis of permit <br />applications, campsite availability, and the priority assigned in <br />the permit selection process. During the low use season, no campsite <br />assignments will be made and boaters will have the freedom to camp <br />in any vacant, designated campsite. <br /> <br />Allocation of Use <br /> <br />Two categories of river use will be recognized -- commercial and <br />noncommercial. Commercial trips will be conducted only by authorized <br />National Park Service concessioners. Noncommercial boating permits <br />will be allocated to individuals or organizations whose proposed <br />trip meets the following criteria: <br /> <br />1. There is a bona fide sharing of costs where no part of the <br />fees are: <br />a. collected in excess of actual costs of the trio. <br />b. for salary or financial gain in any manner for any of <br />the group, its leaders or sponsors. <br />c. for capital increase of the ma10r equipment or facilities <br />used on the trip. <br /> <br />,- <br />., <br /> <br />11 <br /> <br />13?9 <br />
