of maintenance (i.e. downed logs across the trail, or any hazardous conditions).
Please supply trail name/number with specific area location (GPS data welcome!).
Do I need a pass?
The National Forests in Oregon and Washington that require day use fees
are listed here. The Umpqua National
Forest reqires a pass at these locations.
Recreation passes do not cover fees for winter sno-parks, cabin rentals,
or climbing and wilderness permits. They also do not cover developed campgrounds,
but Interagency Senior Pass and Interagency Access Pass holders may receive
a 50% discount for camping fees. (MORE)
