Permits in Arches

No entry reservation needed in 2026 — the Fiery Furnace permit is the one that still books out.

Permits & Reservations

Permits for Arches

First, the question most planners arrive with: you do not need a timed-entry reservation in 2026 — Arches dropped the program this year, and you can enter any time the park is open with just an entrance pass. (It ran 2022–2025 and could return; check the NPS Arches page for the current year.) The reservation that still books out is the Fiery Furnace — a ranger-led ticket or a self-guided exploration permit, both issued on Recreation.gov under Arches tours and permits. Canyoneering carries its own permit; the card below links to the official page. Confirm current windows and fees on Recreation.gov before you plan around them. <!-- VERIFY: NPS.gov /arch entry rules — re-check each season (timed entry lifted for 2026 per NPS release 2026-02-18) -->
