History & Culture
Our nation’s cultural and natural history is intimately tied to the land. If you listen carefully and look around, the stories of ancient times, and times not so distant, will begin to reveal themselves. The Forest Service has recorded more than 380,000 cultural resources on national forests and grasslands for the American people to learn from and enjoy.
Recreation Fees
Some sites require a modest recreation fee to help provide the services and facilities at the site. Call or check out the web pages of the National Forest you plan to visit to learn if your site has any type of fee. Recreation Fees and Pass explains the fees, shares national free days and more.
