Could someone please explain what a forest pass is.
I've lived in the great P.N.W. for 57 years and have never heard of it.

Thanks, John

No, the one that comes with your license is for state facilities like boat ramps, etc. A  Northwest Forest Pass is issued by the US Forest Service and is now required to park on many trailheads. Here's what it says on the Forest Service website:

 

Quote

A Recreation Pass is a pass for the use of many improved trailheads, picnic areas, boat launches and interpretive sites on National Forests throughout Oregon and Washington. Recreation Pass Required signs are posted at participating sites.

Revenues from pass sales go directly to maintaining and improving the trails, land and facilities you own and enjoy.

Boy, that was unexpected!  Thanks for doing something like that.  Very nice.  PM'd you my address.  It is kind of good blessing, as Snag, Oregon Okie, and know each other and all belong to the same Trad Archery club in Eugene!
