§51.40. What are some factors to be considered in determining that outfitter and guide operations are conducted in the backcountry?
36 C.F.R. § 51.40
Determinations as to whether outfitter and guide operations are conducted in the backcountry of a park area will be made on a park-by-park basis, taking into account the park area's particular geographic circumstances. Factors that generally may indicate that outfitter and guide operations are conducted in the backcountry of a park area include, without limitation, the fact that:
The operations occur in areas remote from roads and developed areas;
The operations are conducted within a designated natural area of a park area;
The operations occur in areas where search and rescue support is not readily available; and
All or a substantial portion of the operations occur in designated or proposed wilderness areas.
