Posted on: November 20, 2007

IDAHO FALLS, ID: The Caribou-Targhee National Forests (C-T NF) is offering a prospectus for the campground and related Granger-Thye Concessions on the C-T NF. The permit will be issued for 5-years and is extendable for an additional 5-years, based upon performance. The application period opens on November 9, 2007 and will close on December 21, 2007 at 4:30 pm.

This prospectus is being issued to solicit applications for a concession campground special use permit.
