SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
In 1976, the NPS initiated a
backcountry registration system in
accordance with the regulations found
at 36 CFR 1.5, 1.6 and 2.10. The
objective of the registration system is to
provide users access to backcountry and
wilderness areas of national parks with
continuing opportunities for solitude
and primitive and unconfined
recreation, while enhancing protection
of natural and cultural resources and
providing a means of disseminating
public safety and outdoor ethics
messages regarding backcountry/
wilderness travel and camping. NPS
backcountry/wilderness program
managers, by designating access and
travel routes and camping locations, can
redistribute backcountry/wilderness
users in response to closures and public
use adverse impacts to natural and
cultural resources. The system also
facilitates redistribution of backcountry/
wilderness users due to public safety
hazards related to high fire danger,
flood, wind, snow or ice hazards hazard,
bear activity, or other situations that
may temporarily close or restrict access
to a portion of the backcountry/
wilderness.
The NPS uses the registration system
as a means of ensuring backcountry/
wilderness users receive up-to-date
information on outdoor ethics which
minimize social and resource impacts
including, but not limited to, sanitation
procedures, food storage, campfire use,
campsite selection, as well as wildlife
activity, trail conditions and weather
forecasts to address concerns for visitor
safety. Data collected through the
registration process is also an important
source of information for first
responders in the event of an emergency
requiring deployment of search and
rescue personnel to backcountry/
wilderness areas. The registration
system also serves to document the
spatial and temporal extent, distribution
and demographics associated with
backcountry/wilderness use and social
considerations and perceptions of
backcountry/wilderness visitors. All of
this information serves as an important
resource that informs backcountry and
wilderness management and
stewardship planning, decision making,
and operations.
The Backcountry/Wilderness Use
Permit is an extension of the NPS
