Apply as a crew
Most lotteries let every member of a party apply, and only one entry has to win. A pool keeps the applications, the dates and the result in one place so nobody in the crew misses the deadline.

When does the Bright Angel lottery open?
The managing agency has not published the next Bright Angel application window yet. PermitSnag reads the official schedule every day, and this page carries the dates the day they post.
Will PermitSnag remind me about the Bright Angel lottery?
Yes. Track Bright Angel and you get an email when applications open, another before the deadline, and one when results post. You apply once and stop watching the calendar.
