Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest transitioning to cashless collections on June 21

The Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest will transition to primarily cashless collections for day and annual passes on June 21.

The Forest Service will use a QR code at trailheads, recreation sites, ranger stations and visitor centers for debit and credit card payments.

“Visitors should download the recreation.gov app on their phone for use offline at sites in the forest where cellular connectivity may be poor or non-existent,” said a press release sent out on Friday.

Passes can be purchased online at www.fs.usda.gov/r06/mbs/passes.
