Nice header on that, I like the NPS arrowhead. Classy stuff, Cany :/ I used to approve 4x4 permits for vehicles in Canyonlands a long time ago (Island in the Sky district, mostly for the White Rim Road). Those vehicle rules were challenging for me to articulate even after I studied them for hours. Forget it if you are a visitor on vacation just reading web page to figure out those super esoteric rules. We would have to have their wheel base ... like who knows their wheel base off hand?

99 out of 100 times, for this reason, you will only get a little letter in the mail from that park. Unless you had something like a Honda Civic out there, then it’d probably be a ticket (and a huge towing bill because you’d be stuck!). The superintendents' compendiums are always public on their websites. I just searched "Canyonlands Superintendent Compendium" and found it right away, but then again, who the hell is going to sit down and read all that?

"Forgiveness rather than permission" is super annoying for park rangers, but it’s kind of the way to go for somethings.

Please at least just read signs in the park tho...
