Hi, I'm Rod Wilson of the White Mountain National Forest. How many people do you think visit the White Mountain National Forest each year? 100,000? 700,000? 1 million or 7 million? The answer is coming up. [intro montage] Welcome to the WMNF - The "People's Forest." This is a special and wonderful place to visit throughout the year. Whether you stay for a while or just pass through, we hope you will enjoy your National Forest and all it has to offer. Camping, canoeing, hiking and fishing along with skiing, snowmobiling, and mountain climbing are just a few of the possibilities. You'll find campgrounds, hiking trails, scenic drives, historic places, and plenty of space to just sit back and relax. Now, are you ready for the answer to our question? How many visitors do you think visit the White Mountain National Forest each year? If you said seven million, you were right! This is the approximate number of visitors each year that come to enjoy the mountains, rivers, trails, natural beauty, and cultural wonders of this area. Please keep in mind as you visit the White Mountain National Forest that passes are required at some trailhead parking lots and day use facilities that are marked as fee areas. You can purchase a full year pass directly from the Forest Service at ranger stations throughout the White Mountains, from many vendors in the area, or online at the forest service website. The pass is good for one full calendar year from purchase, and costs twenty dollars for one vehicle or twenty five for two. You can also buy a week-long pass for five dollars. Some trailheads have self-service kiosks for single or multi-day tickets for 3 dollars per day. Almost all the proceeds from these passes stay in the Forest and are used for improving your experience.
