The Cleveland, Los Padres and San Bernardino National Forests will also be honoring the “Fee Free” day.The U.S. Forest Service has designated three days each year as “fee free.” There is no Adventure Pass required for National Trails Day in June, National Public Lands Day in September and Veteran’s Day in November.

Visitors who inadvertently use an Adventure Pass on a free day may have it replaced free-of-charge at any U.S. Forest Service office in southern California.
