Visitors recreating/visiting a fee area in a vehicle must purchase a Coronado Recreational Pass, UNLESS they have one of the Federal Annual type passes. (See National Passes, to the right of this page) 

The Coronado Recreation Fee Pass, as well as any of the National Passes, must be properly displayed while the visitors vehicle is in any of the amenity fee areas.

Coronado Rec Passes purchased at any location, are good at all other Coronado National Forest fee areas. MORE

Fees are as follows:

• Day Pass $5
• Week Pass $10
• Annual Pass $20

Passes are available for purchase at many locations. They may always be purchased at the fee area, while numerous private vendors offer the convenience of purchasing a pass prior to visiting the fee area. Passes sold by private vendors are the same price as those sold at Forest Service locations.
