Grand Canyon, AZ
Tuweep Area Day Use Tickets
Day use at Tuweep Area requires an advance reservation ticket and a valid park pass—there are no walk-ins or same-day permits available. The $2 non-refundable day-use ticket is your gateway to one of Grand Canyon National Park's most remote destinations.
Located in a sprawling wilderness zone on the Kanab Plateau, Tuweep Area offers a stark and isolated canyon experience with zero services: no water, food, gas, lodging, Wi-Fi, or cell coverage. Plan your supplies and route entirely before arrival, as rescue and resupply options are measured in hours of driving, not minutes.
Access to Tuweep is challenging and seasonal conditions dictate road passability; verify current conditions with the park before committing to the journey. If backcountry camping rather than day use appeals to you, Grand Canyon National Park Backcountry Permits cover overnight trips in the same region, while Desert View Campground and Mather Campground offer more accessible park alternatives with established facilities.
