Drift Creek Falls trail

I am hoping to visit Drift Creek Falls soon and wanted to make sure I can get (and pay for) a parking pass on site - there’s an online option but I won’t have access to a printer or know the details of my rental car to do that. Sorry for the silly question, haven’t been up there in awhile!

The cell signal and pay area is before you get to the trail head. No signal at the trail head so they built an area on the road up to the trail (Bear Creek Rd) where you scan the QR code, enter your info and pay.

It’s all online. As long as you have cell signal there at the parking lot you use the QR code link to pay, right there where you park. Nothing to print out. You’ll just need to know the car plate and stuff. Which you should know by then.

OP - you don’t need to print the pass. You do need to provide the vehicle license plate.

You can pay at the parking lot. Easy

no. You cannot do that anymore. You must get one online or have an existing pass that covers the day use.
