Lockhart Basin

[lhracing]

I am planning a trip to Lockhart Basin in October and I have a question about a day use permit for Island In The Sky NP. The trail looks like it goes into the park for about a 1/2 mile, I assume that you will need a permit for this. Does anyone have any input?

You can check the Canyonlands website, but I am fairly certain there aren't permits required for Lockhart Basin.

The website did not indicate that one is required but you do go into the park for what looks like about 1/2 mile then back out. Maybe they view it like the Shafer trail (no permit required).

You changed your picture. No JKU anymore? We biked it in March and we only needed a permit for Elephant Hill, I don't think we needed one for Lockhart. There was a section that had been washed out and we had to stack rocks for some of the Toyotas to get out of. Nothing against them, they had traction control and no lockers but we got them out.

You do not need a permit for Lockhart Basin.

No more JKU, I sold it last year and ordered a 4 Runner. It may not be as offroad capable as the JK was but getting there is much more comfortable.
