No charge or parking permit needed - enjoy!
There usually is no charge for National Forest. However, special permits are usually required for use of some pavilions, large shelters, etc. Check out USDA.GOV and plug in Sante Fe National Forest for a wealth of info about this and other forest.....enjoy the outdoors !!
I have never had to pay to go into the forest, in the National parks that charge, but I'm veteran so it's free for me. But the Forest is so Beautiful
