Permits!? Devils Tower
|
Can someone please help me and explain where I can get my permit, if it needs approved, do I need to be 18, does it cost money, who knew about permits for filming on devils tower, where can I get it, when I should get it, and how do I do it. I plan on climbing devils tower in 7 days so if someone can help me with this it would be appreciated |

My dude, take a breath! Permit is via self-registration on the trail to the tower. Free, no need to do it beforehand. Are you filming for commercial purposes? If not, you don’t need a permit. Just don’t fly a gd drone around regardless. Park apparently closes now, and is open from 7a-5p. There’s another thread about that. |

Thank you!! I couldn’t find answers anywhere so this helped! |

Here's a good link: |

Sorry for coming back, but I must not understand what the term “commercial use” means. If I took photos and videos and uploaded them to a social media does that fall under commercial use as someone can look at it as me trying to profit from a post? Would I need a permit or am I still good without one? |
|
Sorry I shouldn’t have added that confusing language in my original post! No, you’re fine! You don’t have an intent to sell anything- goods, services, otherwise. You aren’t making a Reel Rock type film that has sponsors and all that junk or anything. |
|
And all that junk or anything would include someone who has a uraboob channel or similar and makes money from it (such as so called social media influencer). In other words, you don't need a permit unless you are doing something that will make money. |

considering just typing devils tower climbing permit into google gives you the exact answer you're looking for I'm not sure this guy( who sounded like they were in a full panic) has the wits to get up the tower.. will he even find the parking lot and visitor center? time will tell. |

Partial guide to the Visitor Center:  Just past the Curios Stand---  Go thru the Gate--- (between 7am & 5pm, temporarily)  Drive slowly past the FEMA Prairie Dog Village---  Wander thru Tulgey Wood---  Stay on the paved road, unless you need shelter at The Lodge---  Stop at the Cafe, eat inside if the weather looks rough---  Enjoy your experience |
