Explore Washington's outdoors

This is a FEE FREE day! No Discover pass needed.

This day celebrates Earth Day, recognized as the modern environmental movement, raising awareness for planet protection through activities like cleanups, tree planting, and advocacy, growing from a U.S. event in 1970 to a global observance with over a billion participants, inspiring environmental laws and promoting conservation efforts like reducing waste, saving water, and supporting sustainable energy. Dennis Hayes, one of the founders of Earth Day, is from Camas, WA. 

The Washington State Discover Pass gives you unlimited access to millions of acres of unforgettable nature across Washington state. When you buy a Discover Pass, you help preserve and conserve our public lands for everyone—from the first-time visitor to the expert adventurer—and for the generations yet to come.
