If your trail rig doesn't have a license plate but an orv tag than only one pass is needed. Otherwise you need two. Last trip there I seen some people parking down across the highway not sure if a pass needed to park there or if it's private party but there were a lot of rigs parked there.

Off-Road Vehicle (ORVs): If your ORV is required to display an ORV tab, you do not need a Discover Pass for that vehicle. Generally, ORVs are non-street-legal vehicles. You will need a Discover Pass for the street-legal vehicle that transports your ORV to a state recreation site. The trailer does not require a pass. Street-licensed vehicles, such as dual-sport motorcycles or four-wheel-drive vehicles, will be required to display a pass.

I think people are confusing trailering a vehicle to the spot whether street legal or not as making it legal. Where as the law clearly states orv tags must be on the vehicle to exempt it from needing a discover pass as it clearly states in the exemptions.
But the thing is as soon as it hits a gravel road it must have a pass. A few rigs in our club have orv tags since they arent street legal and they have been required to still have the pass. The whole pass is a grey area no one has a straight answer for it

there is no grey area, it is in black and white on their site. If in fact your people had "orv tags" on your vehicle that is all that is required. I'd simply carry a copy of "their" rules and show them next time surely cheaper than $35 pass. I've had no problem with my atv and all it has is orv tags.

ya a big ticket. wich is bs . there are 3 diffrent passes that u can get . this state is a f in joke! u cant just have the one. its always some combination or so it seems. like the one u get with ur huntin n fishin is no good even tho they are suppost to get u on the damn land in the first place then u hav to hav another to use the area???? ya a joke! just another way to extort more money out of ur pocket to line theirs. mayby if we wore a suit n tie while out doin this stuff they would look the other way.
