Hiking – Canyonlands Needles District

As noted above, the park entrance fee per vehicle will be split equally amongst all passengers in that car unless one of the occupants has a pass.

Also previously noted, all trip participants (including the leaders) are asked to equally share/split the campsite fee of $300. If the trip fills, this expense can be as little at $25 per person.

Everyone is also asked to share the mileage costs with their vehicle's driver. The CMC has a suggested price and policy for this at;

Price per Gallon (also applies to electric vehicles)
2.0 - 2.5 gal = 30
2.5 - 3.0 gal = 32
3.0 - 3.5 gal = 34
3.5 - 4.0 gal = 38
4.5 - 5.0 gal = 40

Example: Four in a car (includes driver) going 75 miles roundtrip, at $2.899 per gallon
would be at 32 cents per mile, for a total of $24.00 - divided by 4 (including the driver) would be $6.00 each.
(.32 x 75 = $24.00 divided by 4 = $6.00 each)

For those wanting to carpool, we can arrange possible carpools or a caravan option from the Wooley Mammoth park n Ride in Denver (I-70 at the Morrison exit).
