About

Interested in camping in the wilderness? It is a great chance to explore the wilderness. There is a page on the National Park Service website that contains information on where camping is allowed and how to get a free permit. Voluntary backcountry/wilderness permits can be obtained online or in person at the Furnace Creek Visitor Center. You may want to provide more information about your plans, as solo hikers may want to provide additional information. You can download the map to the wilderness from the center of the dirt roads.
