One of the unique features of the Adventure Pass program is the participation of private sector vendors, small and large local businesses that sell the pass in nearly one hundred communities near the forests. The idea behind the vendor program is to make it easier and more convenient for the public to purchase an Adventure Pass in advance of their trip to the forest. The vendor network continues to grow, making it easier for visitors to purchase the pass. Vendor Locations Link Forest Service offices have expanded office hours during heavy use periods in order to provide better public service, and to make it easier to buy the pass.
Passes are also available for purchase by mail .
Our goal is to maximize the ways the public can readily and conveniently participate in the Adventure Pass program. In order for holders of Golden Age or Golden Access Passports to receive a discount, their Passes must be purchased at a Forest Service Office. Independent vendors are not required to give a discount. If you plan to purchase a Secondary Vehicle Pass when you buy your annual pass, call ahead to make sure the vendor carries the Secondary Pass. If you decide to purchase the Secondary Vehicle Pass at a later time, simply bring your Annual Pass with you when you make your purchase.
