Administered by BC Parks, starting May 15, Golden Ears Park will require day-use passes during peak periods.  

  1. From May 15, day-use passes will be required to access areas beyond the Spirea trailhead in Golden Ears Park until September 7 (inclusive) from Friday to Monday.  
  2. At Golden Ears, the passes are vehicle passes that are required until 3:30 PM, after which visitors may travel to the park without a pass. The number of available passes is managed based on parking lot capacity. 
  3. While campers and their visitors do not require day-use passes at Golden Ears, they must have a copy of the camping reservation to enter the park.

Benefits of Day-use Passes:

  1. Provide visitors with more predictable, planned park experiences in less crowded, more peaceful parks.  
  2. Reduce the likelihood of unnecessary travel to at-capacity parks and encourage visitors to carpool or use alternative modes of transportation.  
  3. Help manage visitor impacts on the park system and its wildlife, while encouraging visitors to interact with educational materials on responsible recreation.
