The Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest<\/a> will transition to primarily cashless collections for day and annual passes on June 21.<\/p>\n

The Forest Service will use a QR code at trailheads, recreation sites, ranger stations and visitor centers for debit and credit card payments.<\/p>\n

“Visitors should download the recreation.gov app<\/a> on their phone for use offline at sites in the forest where cellular connectivity may be poor or non-existent,” said a press release sent out on Friday.<\/p>\n

Passes can be purchased online at www.fs.usda.gov\/r06\/mbs\/passes<\/a>.<\/p>\n
