I stopped by Zion last Monday to update my permit and learned of some changes to the system. This information was provided to me by the backcountry supervisor.
"We're trying to encourage greater use of the on-line permit system this year, so we made a couple of changes. Visitors now only need to sign up every three years for the express system. membership for visitors who signed up in 2005 will last through December 2007. Visitors who sign up in 2006 will not have to sign up again until January of 2009.
The other change is that we added a number of additional canyons to the system including Heaps, Imlay, and Englestead.
The changes have been made to the permit system; however, the websites have not yet been updated."
So if you are talking with people about the system remind them to go directly to the permit section for the latest info.
