That's not right. Is 16 spots or 4 groups(Won't have to be more than 16 people in the 4 groups) however comes first. Highly recommended to at least have group of 4 people. If only 1 or 2 people want to apply they can always partner up with somebody for more chances. Fridays the % tongey permits are higher. Since they raffle spots for 3 days. Sat, Sunday & Monday

Dear Gareth, after watching your trip to Russia, I watched all the videos on your channel, I have never experienced only the joy of watching a video, but your videos became a motivation for me to enjoy life and travel, thanks to you I have already traveled half of Russia, and I'm not going to dwell on this. Gareth, thanks! I don't know English very well, sorry for broken English.

That general area is so beautiful, jam packed with national parks everywhere! One needs to visit at least five times in their lifetime!

STRONG RECOMMENDATION for those with kids or who maybe aren't the strongest hikers (like me): Start your hike into the canyon at Sunset Point and work your way back to Sunrise Point. I say this because Sunset Point is MUCH STEEPER than Sunrise and it's a bear to climb up to Sunset Point when you're ending your hike. Much better to go down steep and work back up more gradually. Either way, it's beautiful and the scenery is spectacular. I cannot stress this enough, though: Go counter-clockwise. You'll be glad you did.
