Map: Where to Buy an Adventure Pass in Southern California

August 24, 2017 By Jeff Hester 1 Comment

If you’ve been hiking or camping in Southern California, you know about the Adventure Pass. Many trailheads and campgrounds on National Forest lands require the pass, available in both daily ($5) and annual ($30) versions.

Does the trailhead you are headed to require an Adventure Pass? We have an interactive map that shows them all, with a list below it. You can even grab driving directions.

If you need to buy an Adventure Pass, the Forest Service has a list of all locations that carry them. But if you are like me, and prefer a map over a list, you’ll love this.

Click a cluster to zoom in on that area, and click a pin to see the name, address and phone number of the location.

Interactive map courtesy of Brett Kobold. Brett is a SoCal hiker and data jockey who whipped this up when he was planning a camping trip. Read more about the creation here.

    I recently found out my America The Beautiful Senior Pass (National Parks & Federal Recreation Lands Pass) doubles an Adventure Pass! The Forest Service gave me a clear plastic holder for my Senior Pass that hangs from my rear view mirror.

    Only three days left for Seniors 62 and over to get their lifetime National Parks & Recreation Lands pass for just $10. Starting Monday (8/28/17) the price goes up to $80.
