RRD visitors can still purchase a $45 2023 annual pass at the RRRD Visitor Center or the Sedona Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center. This pass covers admission at both district-managed fee sites and the following concessionaire-managed fee sites: Crescent Moon, Grasshopper Point Swimming and Picnic Area and Call of the Canyon Picnic Site (West Fork of Oak Creek Trail #108 trailhead). Grand Annual Passes may also be purchased at these sites.
ExplorUS was selected as the concessionaire-managed fee site contract holder following an application process held in late 2022. ExplorUS assumed management of the Coconino National Forest’s campground and day-use areas at the beginning of 2023.
