    The Bureau of Land Management will require permits by reservation for overnight use in the King Range Wilderness and Backcountry Management Zone of the King Range National Conservation Area beginning Jan. 9, 2017. The requirement will not affect day-use visitors or campgrounds outside the wilderness or backcountry areas.

    The new overnight wilderness permit system will limit the number of people entering the King Range Wilderness and backcountry zone for overnight use to 60 entries per day during the peak season of May 15-Sept. 15, and 30 entries per day during the non-peak season of Sept. 16-May 14.

    Starting Jan. 9, 2017, King Range visitors can go to http://www.recreation.gov to book their overnight permits. They can also make reservations by visiting the BLM Arcata Field Office in Arcata or the King Range office in Whitethorn. Reservations will cost $6 per permit. The current backcountry permit system, with self-registration at trailheads, will remain in place until Jan. 9th.
