Dear Permit Applicant,

Thank you for your interest in visiting the Bridger Wilderness. Enclosed you will find an application for a visitor permits. Permits are required for all overnight campers with pack or saddle stock. This application is intended only for private, non-affiliate parties using recreation livestock. If you are needing to meet other permit requirements because you are applying as an organized group (church, scouts, club, etc.) educational organization or commercial operation, please contact our office to obtain the proper application(s).

If you are planning on using 9 head of stock or less, complete all sections except the campsite location section. If you are planning on using 10 head of stock or more then you must complete all sections. Your campsite choices will be reviewed and coordinated with other permitted groups to prevent congestion at backcountry campsites. Please apply as early as possible to avoid scheduling conflicts.

Certain areas of the Bridger Wilderness are especially sensitive to impacts and therefore overnight camping with livestock is not allowed within 1/2 mile of these areas:

In addition, the following trails are very rugged in nature and are not recommended for livestock use:

We appreciate your time in completing this application and your willingness to meet our permit requirements. If you need any assistance or have any questions about the Bridger Wilderness or the Pinedale Ranger District, please call our office at (307) 367-4326.

Sincerely,

CRAIG TRULOCK
