Competition for last year’s initial lottery was high. The initial 2007 lottery was held October 23, 2006, and had 2,534 applications in the lottery for 197 dates, or a 1 in 13 chance of winning.
A follow-up lottery was held December 5, 2006, and had 1,038 applications for 45 winter dates, or a 1 in 23 chance of winning a winter off-season date.
The lottery is part of the contested 2006 Colorado River Management Plan. The new plan, presently in litigation, offers do-it-yourself river runners an increased opportunity to get permits, but nearly all of the new trips are during the winter months. The new plan also mandates cuts in self guided trip lengths throughout the year, and imposes a one-trip per year policy on all river runners.
