Other Passes and Permit Information

The Forest Service may require recreation permits beyond just getting an Adventure pass, when extra measures are needed to protect natural or cultural resources, to restrict the number of people participating in the activity at any one time, to provide extra safety or for other specialized services. These permits may be issued to individuals as “Special Recreation Permits.” Examples are:

  • Off-highway vehicle riding
  • Camping or Hiking on trails such as the PCT
  • Rock climbing
  • Wilderness areas that have limited access
  • Shooting ranges
  • Groomed cross-country ski trails

Please keep these in mind when looking for the correct Pass or Permit to purchase for your upcoming adventure.
