HUALAPAI FEES $1070

The Hualapai Tribe owns the Diamond Creek Road and charges a fee for each person (including

drivers) and each vehicle traveling the road. The Hualapai will bill the permit-holder prior to the trip; no

response is needed at that time. If PRO is doing your takeout shuttle, we will pay the fees for you. If you

pay them yourself, have your receipt ready when you reach Diamond Creek.

The Hualapai ranger will take a count of the number of people and vehicles involved in your

Diamond Creek takeout, including any private vehicles. Please verify that the number of people (including

drivers) and vehicles is correct before signing the Hualapai permit. Once signed, the billing is final and

the tribe will not re-negotiate. Your final billing from PRO will match the number that you signed for on the

Hualapai permit, rather than any predicted numbers.

As of the 2007 season, the Hualapai land use fee is $53.50 per vehicle and per person, which

includes 7% tribal tax. For a full Grand Canyon trip of 16 people, with two vehicles (and two drivers)

picking them up, 20 fees are collected for a total of $1070. This fee is subject to change.

Jose, can you add any links that provide any detail? Where do we actually put in? Come out? Roughly, where are the stops? How are the three weeks organized? Etc. So far all I know is Grand Canyon, three weeks, October 2010.
