National
Parks Pass
The National Parks Pass is an annual pass that provides
admission to any national park charging an entrance
fee. The pass costs $50 and is valid for one full
year from first use in a park. More than 80% of the
proceeds from the sales of National Parks Passes go
directly into supporting priority projects in national
parks.

accompanying passengers in a private * vehicle if
a park has a per vehicle entrance fee. Where a per
person entrance fee is charged, the National Parks
Pass admits the pass signee, spouse, children and
parents. The National Parks Pass is nontransferable
and does NOT cover or reduce use fees such as charges
for camping, parking, tours, and concessions.

and at participating park book stores operated by
cooperating associations
