You can set up a visit to the popular Paria Wilderness Area without stepping outside.

The Bureau of Land Management is accepting reservations and fees for backcountry permits online.

Permits, maps, and other information available at B.L.M. offices in Saint George and Kanab are on the web site.

There's also a translation program for foreign visitors, and an electronic bulletin board for hikers to share experiences.

Go to Paria web site.
