Crater Lake National Park is the only place in Oregon that requires the pass and you can get it at the entrance station of most NP's.
You can also use it in other locations, but that I think is the only place in Oregon that is a National Park.
It might be easier to buy one in Washington or a NP in California.
Back in the 90's the pass was free. Now they charge a nominal fee, less than $25. If you have a full time handicap card, you can get a Golden Access card for free. It offers the same benefits, without charge to get one.
Fred.
I think it also allowed me to get a frrebie national forest pass that gives me a price break on national forest campgrounds. Been a while since I used it, so don't recall details.
Gets you in to ALL USFS campgrounds for half price. I've used it several times this year, plan to use it a lot more next season. You still have to pay full price on electric hookup if available (at least here in Colorado you do), but it's STILL a bargain.
