Beginning Friday, the Gifford Pinchot National Forest will be implementing a Scan and Pay option at many recreation sites across the forest.  Visitors will now be able to pay recreation day use fees through the recreation.gov app loaded on a mobile device.  Scan and Pay will work in areas with cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity and offline as well, as long as the app is downloaded to the device prior to the loss of service.  Scan and Pay will be available in the Mt. Adams Ranger District at the Crest Camp, Cultus Creek , Indian Heaven, Falls Creek Falls, Thomas Lake, and Trapper Creek trailheads, the Ice Cave and Whistle Punk Day Use locations, and first come/first serve campgrounds including Trout Lake Creek and Mt. Adams  Horse Camp.  Visitors can also purchase the Northwest Forest-day use pass and the Mt. Adams Climbing Activity Pass on Recreation.gov ahead of their visit.  Fees for first-come, first-serve campgrounds can only be paid via Scan and Pay, or cash, on site at the time of the visit.
