Arizona News – The Coconino National Forest and partners will discontinue the sale of the Grand Annual Pass on Dec. 31, 2024, to simplify pass requirements across the forest, but existing Grand Annual Passes sold through the end of 2024 will be honored at all fee sites through 2025.
ExplorUS, in coordination with the Coconino National Forest, is excited to announce the launch of the new annual Sedona Pass. The annual pass will be sold for $50 starting in January 2025, and will provide visitor access for one vehicle and up to five people per pass to the following day-use sites on the Coconino National Forest.
- Crescent Moon day-use site
- Grasshopper Point day-use site
- West Fork (Call O’ the Canyon) day-use site
- Beaver Creek day-use site
- Lower Lake Mary day-use site
Walk-ins will also be allowed with the new annual pass. The new pass will be similar in size to a gift card or driver’s license, and each pass will have a unique QR code linked to the purchaser. Passes can be purchased at any of the sites where it is accepted.
The Sedona Pass will not be accepted at any other fee sites. Visitors recreating at other fee sites on the Coconino National Forest will need a Red Rock Pass that can be purchased at automated fee machines located in the parking lots of those sites, the Red Rock Ranger District Visitor Center, and various vendors in Sedona and Flagstaff. The Red Rock Pass is offered for daily, weekly and annual timeframes.
