[Volunteers_fosm] Digital Day Use Passes Available Now

Sat Aug 8 09:19:25 MDT 2020

Hello Everyone:

Below is a message from District Ranger Crystal Powell announcing the availablility of a digital option for the purchase visitor passes.

Bob L.

Technology, coming soon to the Sandia Mountains.. actually its available now!  I am excited to share that we now have an option for visitors to purchase the $3 amenity pass online.  This is exciting for us and hope that more and more visitors will use this online service instead of paying the $3.00 and placing it in the fee collection tube.  Theft and vandalism of the fee collection tubes has been a significant issue over the years and only continues to get worse.    Please share with others. Also do not forget for the frequent visitor we have a Sandia Annual Pass that can be purchased at the Sandia District Office and the Cibola National Forest and Grasslands Office off of Osuna.

The Cibola National Forest and National Grasslands is now offering an option to purchase digital day use passes online through Recreation.gov<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.recreation.gov%2Fsitepass%2F74386&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cadd6fc6e0bd34d9eaed208d83a5f3636%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637323527894412125&sdata=ACWNVJqTrNJoJYLDgqGGQKWAo4AbVn2%2F3PQln6IKECc%3D&reserved=0>.

This convenient, no-cash option can be purchased anywhere that has cellular connectivity. This means that you can purchase the pass from home, on the way to your destination, or upon arrival at the recreation site. The purchase process is simple and takes just a few minutes to complete. Simply visit the Cibola site on recreation.gov<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.recreation.gov%2Fsitepass%2F74386&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cadd6fc6e0bd34d9eaed208d83a5f3636%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637323527894412125&sdata=ACWNVJqTrNJoJYLDgqGGQKWAo4AbVn2%2F3PQln6IKECc%3D&reserved=0> select the Cibola Day Use Pass, enter the day of visitation, billing information and license plate.
