BLM Approves Mountain Lab School IdRaHaJe Educational Recreation Permit
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Price Field Office has approved a Special Recreation Permit Categorical Exclusion for Mountain Lab School IdRaHaJe and issued a decision authorizing noncommercial canyoneering, camping, and outdoor education activities within the San Rafael Swell. The permit authorizes trips for groups of up to 12 participants, including qualified guides, and includes hiking, canyoneering, rappelling, camping, outdoor education, and Leave No Trace instruction at several popular recreation sites.
The permit supports leadership development, professional growth, and team-building opportunities for college-aged interns participating in the Mountain Lab School IdRaHaJe internship program. Activities will be conducted using established routes, industry-standard safety practices, and resource protection measures designed to minimize impacts to public lands and ensure compliance with applicable BLM regulations and permit requirements. Following a successful two-year trial period, the permit authorizes operations for up to 10 years.
