America the Beautiful Pass
The ATB Pass can be used in lieu of a Red Rock Pass at many Sedona-area Coconino National Forest sites. However, it does not include entry to the four concessionaire-managed fee sites that are covered by the *Coconino Pass.
Red Rock Pass
The Red Rock Pass can only be used on Coconino National Forest sites. It is not valid at other sites such as National Parks or parks managed by the State of Arizona. The Daily, Weekly and Annual Red Rock Pass allows the passholder to park at a Sedona-area fee site managed by the Coconino National Forest. It does not include access to concessionaire-managed fee sites that require the *Coconino Pass. To see the sites the Red Rock Pass covers, see page 3 of the Red Rock Recreation Guide or click the next dropdown menu below entitled Sites That Require Passes.
*Coconino Pass (concessionaire fee)
The Coconino Pass does not cover sites covered by the Red Rock or ATB passes. It only allows access to the following concessionaire-managed fee sites:
- Call of the Canyon/West Fork
- Crescent Moon
- Grasshopper Point
- Beaver Creek
If you leave your vehicle while recreating at a fee site in the Sedona area, you must purchase a recreation pass. Four specific sites charge a *concessionaire fee known as the Coconino Pass and do not recognize the Red Rock or ATB pass. See below for specific fee site locations and what they require or check page 3 of the Red Rock Recreation Guide for a map version.
