Recreation Pass Requirements

Self-service fee tubes are available at most National Forest trailheads like Rocky Gorge. Ensure your pass is visible on the dashboard to avoid citations in these designated areas.

White Mountain Dead Zones

Cellular service is notoriously unreliable once you enter the Kancamagus Highway or high-elevation notches. Download offline navigation and trail maps before leaving the town of Conway.

Gateway Supply Logic

Conway serves as the final major hub for fuel and groceries before heading west into the National Forest. Top off your tank here to ensure enough fuel for mountain passes and back-road exploration.

Campground reservations

Regional Parking Passes Required for National Forest Access

Conway is the gateway to the White Mountain National Forest; while town entry is free, specific sites like Diana's Baths require a daily recreation pass or an Interagency pass displayed in your vehicle. Private glamping and lodge bookings are independent of forest access and should be secured months in advance for autumn. Always verify the latest fee stations and pass requirements with the U.S. Forest Service before arrival.
