AZ, which passes for which trails?

Had our '04 taco 4x4 for 20 years.
We have been on plenty of road trips.
We have become interested in day trip trail rides.
I am a veteran with a Lifetime National Parks pass. (ie, tonto pass, etc).
Wondering how to find out what other passes we might need for off-road type trails?
Which type trails need which type passes?

I did a forum search,
Did not find helpful info,
Thanx

 

for the most part passes aren’t needed to run offroad trails. Can’t really legally wheel on state or national park land. State trust land requires a permit but that’s more dirt road than trails

where are you located ? You probably have potential TW friends in your neighborhood

ETA - depending on which national forest you are considering there are some decent multi vehicle use maps you can download for free onto the free Avenza gps app

 

Here is the link to the State Trust Land permit. Its like $20 for a year and worth it. Money goes to good use and its nice to not worry about whether you are on Trust Land since its kind of sprinkled all over the state. Just keep it in your glove box.

4 areas in Tonto National Forest now require a permit. It's like $10 for 3 days or $80 for a year if I remember correct.

As many times since the beginning of the year I've been out by Saguaro lake I should've just bought the year pass...

 

Wtf. How are you even supposed to know you need a permit in these places. Wtf are our tax dollars doing.

 

If the fees were spent responsibly I'd be all for it, but we all know that's not how government works...

Turns out when you take in a million Californians, you start to resemble California.

 

if only they understood why they fled kalifornia
