Coronado National Forest - Passes, Permits & Fees

Passes & Permits

Where to Purchase Coronado Recreation Fee Program Passes

Coronado Recreation Fee Program passes may be purchased at numerous locations in Tucson area and at various locations on the National Forest during your visit. Passes purchased at these locations are good at all Fee Areas on the Coronado National Forest.

Passes can always be purchased in the Fee Area during your visit. However, many private vendors offer you a more convenient method of purchasing a pass prior to your visit.

If you plan to visit Mt. Lemmon on a weekend or on a busy "snow-play" day, you are especially encouraged to purchase a pass before your trip.

Passes may also be purchased at all Ranger District Offices and the Supervisors Office.
