The permits were 15-20 dollars with a $200 deposit. Not sure what the weighted lottery cost is but suspect its not much more.

Actual total trip costs were in the $5-10K range depending upon menu and upgrades to gear, including travel to AZ. Our party was usually around 8-12 people so not too bad. The only cost certain I vividly remember was renting an ammo can toilet for $40/wk. (NPS required an approved toilet and our portapotty wasn't approved.) We already own the rafts and kayaks so that helped a lot but always need something. Keep in mind this was 16-24 years ago

The hard part used to be the wait list.

Here's the link on the lotto system.
