Sedona, Arizona — Coconino National Forest’s Red Rock Ranger District will be waiving amenity fees on Saturday, September 24, 2016 for National Public Lands Day.

The fee waiver includes all areas that require the Red Rock Pass, which provides access to Palatki, Honanki, and V Bar B Heritage Sites, and parking at trailheads for approximately 300 miles of multiple-use trails.

This does not include Call of the Canyon (West Fork Trailhead), Crescent Moon Ranch (Red Rock Crossing), Grasshopper Point, campgrounds or state parks.

National Public Lands Day is the nation’s largest single-day volunteer effort for public lands, and it is celebrating its 23rd anniversary this year.

The district offers many fee-free days throughout the year, including Presidents’ Day weekend, Memorial Day weekend, National Get Outdoors Day, Fourth of July weekend, Labor Day weekend, National Public Lands Day, Columbus Day weekend, Veteran’s Day weekend, Thanksgiving Day and the day after Christmas. Fees are waived generally for day-use areas, such as picnic grounds, developed trailheads and destination visitor centers.
