Something to check off before you're done boating....
NATIONAL PARK SERVICE - FEBRUARY 1, 2015
The 2016 Main Lottery is now accepting applications for 472 calendar year 2016 noncommercial river trips (398 standard size trips and 74 small size trips). Lottery applications will be accepted through noon Mountain Standard Time on Tuesday, February 24, 2015, and the lottery drawing will take place by the end of that week. Applicants can log in after Friday, February 27, 2015 to find out if they won.
Lottery winners will have until noon Mountain Standard Time on Wednesday, March 4, 2015 to pay their trip deposits ($400 for standard sized trips, $200 for small sized trips).
We strongly recommended all lottery applications list at least one Potential Alternate Trip Leader (PATL). If the original trip leader becomes unable to go on the river trip, and there are no confirmed PATLs, the trip will be cancelled. PATLs can only be added to a river trip by the trip leader when he/she is submitting a lottery application. PATLs may not be added to a trip after a launch date has been won - NO EXCEPTIONS.
A list of the available launch dates can be found at http://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/cancelled-dates.htm
If you need any assistance, please ask. We are happy to help.
Sincerely,
Grand Canyon River Permits Office
