The charges incurred for using our Southern California National Forests are somewhat controversial. However, it is a reality for the time being. A trial program introduced in 1997 by the Forest Service is currently in place for these much used Southern California parks and will remain in effect until further notice.

At least 80% of Adventure Pass fees collected will be used specifically for the intended parks listed on the pass. These charges are needed for:

• maintenance
• repair facilities
• protection of woodlands
• restoration of the forest

Recreation Fee Demonstration program

The pass must be displayed on your cars rear view mirror while parked on National Forest lands. The fees for Camp/Picnic grounds are not covered under this pass & must be paid separate.

Additional stickers for your second vehicle or motorcycle can be purchased for a fee of $5.00

Sometimes a wilderness permit serves as your fire permit. Other Wilderness area regulations may require you to have both a fire and wilderness permit. In wilderness areas where no Wilderness permit is required, you must always have a campfire permit to build a fire or to utilize a backpack stove.

Passes may be purchased at most NF Ranger Stations and Sporting Goods stores as well as many general stores in the vicinity of the forest. Look for the stickers in the merchants' window to identify the ones that sell Passes.
