Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $220.40 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Thursday, May 2, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.

Notes:

People will be sharing cooking equipment, rides and tents. Once you have paid for the trip, please let me know what shared equipment you may have and if you have any preferences for cooking/tenting partners.

Payment covers only the camping fee. Each vehicle will have to pay the Park Entrance fee which is $9.80 per adult per day.
