Permits & Fees

ANGELES NATIONAL FOREST

The National Forest Adventure Pass is a parking permit that can be purchased for an annual fee that allows parking in Southern California’s four National Forests: Angeles National Forest, San Bernardino National Forest and Cleveland National Forest. The annual pass currently costs $30 a year or $5 per day and can be purchased at Forest Service offices, outdoor retailers and local outlets near or within the boundaries of the national forests.

An Adventure Pass is required for parking at “High Impact Recreational Areas” which covers most locales along the main forest highways and all the most popular trailheads.  Many of the trailheads in the San Gabrel Mountains within Angeles National Forest require an Adventure Pass for parking at a trailhead. For more information call Angeles National Forest at (626) 574-5200.
