Do we need a special permit from the Park Service to drive the backcountry dirt roads?
No. You just pay the standard Park entrance fee, and you’re good to go! Special permits are only required for profitable or large group uses. It is however, a good idea to consult with a Ranger before you head out, to see if your route is a safe one, because these roads change every year. Do not count on a road being drivable just because it was on your last visit! Weather can alter everything … overnight sometimes.
