BACKCOUNTRY TRIPS
OPERATING PLAN – EXHIBIT B
Overview
The CUA for overnight backcountry trips allows the CUA holder to conduct guided overnight
backcountry trips with the appropriate backcountry permit.
General Provisions
1) CUA holders are limited to three groups per day. Maximum group size is 12, including
guides. Multiple groups in the same area must be dispersed and not congregate. Multiple
groups are not permitted to congregate in a single campsite if the overall group size
exceeds the campsite size limit. Groups must be equipped to camp, cook, and travel
independently.
2) CUA holders are encouraged to stay on designated trails. Specific areas may be closed to
off-trail travel if impacts are noted.
3) CUA holders may use only designated backcountry campsites. During the winter, camping
may be permitted outside of designated campsites. CUA holders may not exceed campsite
limitations for the number of people allowed at a campsite.
4) Each group must include at least one guide. One guide on each trip must have relevant
outdoor experience including previous experience on the trails they are guiding.
5) The guide for any trip, within the park, must have a basic knowledge of map reading, and
must have a topographic map for the area of their trip. It is recommended the guide have a
compass and knowledge of compass use. A GPS is recommended.
6) While in Yellowstone's backcountry, the CUA holder or guide shall remain with their clients
for the duration of the trip.
7) Each guide must carry a minimum of one can of bear spray. Bear spray for clients is
recommended.
8) All guides must carry a basic first aid kit suitable for backcountry emergencies. Suggested
items include 1 roll of two-inch medical tape, 1 roll of two-inch gauze, 1 two-inch ace
bandage, 2 triangular bandages, 2 two-inch compresses, 6 four-inch compresses, 1
emergency blanket and several pairs of disposable gloves. Hot beverages, extra clothing,
repair kit, and ensolite sitting pads should also be included.
9) Guides will ensure that clients are properly attired for the current and forecasted weather
conditions. Routes will be determined based on clients’ abilities and desires.
10) A Backcountry Use Permit is required for overnight backcountry use and is available under
the terms and conditions stipulated by the Central Backcountry Office.
11) A $25 (non-refundable) fee will be charged for each backcountry permit issued. There is no

number of people. No additional fee will be charged for cancellations unless the
cancellation is made after the scheduled start date of the trip. An additional $25 will be
charged if a permittee fails to contact the Central Backcountry Office to cancel a trip/permit
prior to the scheduled starting date. Permittees will be billed for backcountry permit fees at
the end of the operating season.
12) Backcountry permit reservation procedures, terms, and conditions are reviewed and
revised annually. There are limits on the number of campsites which may be occupied on a
nightly basis by commercial users and there are limits on the annual occupancy of
individual campsites by a single CUA. Having a CUA does not guarantee that backcountry
campsites will be available.

that the above conditions will be reiterated to all guides associated with this business.
