Match the pass to your exact dates
BLM lists weekly passes at $30 without holidays and $40 with holidays, and season passes at $90 / $120. The published season runs October 1 to September 30. Recreation.gov’s descriptive text still shows an older holiday calendar. Confirm your dates and final coverage before paying.

California OHV requirements
California’s nonresident rules depend on your home-state registration and reciprocity. A title is not registration. Arizona street-licensed OHVs have a specific California permit requirement. Use the state’s current guidance for each machine rather than treating a Dumont pass as riding authorization.
California nonresident OHV permits
Keep the paperwork with the plan
Save receipts, print what is required, and check the plate and dates before packing. The trip planner records your checklist; it does not issue or validate a permit.
