Notice for our customers: COVID-19

Due to the continued spread of coronavirus COVID-19, we are cancelling REI day tours, rentals, workshops, classes and events through Friday, April 10th.

If the program you are registered for is before April 10th, it will most likely be cancelled and you will receive a 100% refund.

As of today, we plan to operate nearly all of our scheduled day tours, workshops, classes and events scheduled for after April 10. We will notify our customers on a case by case basis about changes in programs at the local level. To provide you with flexibility in your plans, if you wish to cancel or transfer due to health or safety concerns related to COVID-19, REI is currently waiving its 48-hour cancellation requirement. You may cancel by contacting us at info.az@rei.com.

We recognize that spending time outside can be an important rejuvenating activity in these challenging times. We encourage you to check out our educational and inspirational Expert Advice or connect through REI Conversations until we can share the outdoors with you in person again.

Grand Canyon Permit System

Grand Canyon National Park issues backcountry permits through a lottery system. All commercial outfitters are subject to this lottery system the same as the public is.

We offer a 5% discount for registering 5 or more months in advance and early registration means you can pick any dates.

We are required to have at least one registered guest to apply for a permit.
We apply for permits 4 months in advance on the 1st of the month (see table below).
We have a good success rate with securing permits if you register before the dates as specified in the table below.
If unsuccessful your deposit is fully transferrable or refundable.
Groups of 5 or less have a higher success rate than large groups.
The more flexible you can be in your planning, the better our chances are of securing your permit.
