- Under the EXPLORE Act (54 U.S.C. 100905), no permit or fee is needed for 8 or fewer people using hand-carried gear in areas open to the public, with no exclusive use and no harm to resources or visitors. Photos and video tied to a permitted event such as a wedding never need a separate permit. Entrance fees still apply. Paid photo services may also need a Commercial Use Authorization.
