National Park Pass
The America the Beautiful Pass is the best investment for nature lovers.
- Price: $80 per vehicle (up to 4 adults)
- Validity: 12 months from purchase
- Access to: All 63 national parks + over 2,000 other federal areas (National Forests, BLM land, National Wildlife Refuges)
- Worth it from: 3 park visits (individual parks cost $20–35 entry)
- Purchase: At the entrance of the first park, online at recreation.gov, or in REI stores
Example: Grand Canyon ($35) + Zion ($35) + Bryce Canyon ($35) + Yosemite ($35) = $140 individually vs. $80 with pass.
💡 Tipp
Seniors (62+) get the "Senior Pass" for a one-time fee of $80 — valid for life! For US military and 4th graders (9–10 years), the pass is free.
