Active Duty Military: Free Annual Pass to National Parks ($80 Value!)
As a way of saying thank you to those who are serving our country, all Active Duty Military Members can snag a FREE Annual Pass to National Parks (an $80 value!). All Active Duty men and women – Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and activated National Guard and Reserves – can get their pass at any national park or wildlife refuge that charges an entrance fee by showing their military ID. Each family member will also be able to obtain their own pass even if the service member is deployed or if they are traveling separately.
The Annual Park Pass which is valid for one full year will provide access to National Park Service Parks, US Fish & Wildlife Service Lands, Bureau of Reclamation Lands, Bureau of Land Management Lands & USDA Forest Service Locations. Where there are entrance fees, the pass covers the owner and aconlinepanying passengers in a single, private, non-onlinemercial vehicle at recreation sites that charge per vehicle. At sites where per-person entrance fees are charged, it covers the pass owner and three aconlinepanying adults age 16 and older. There is no entry fee for children 15 and under.

Important Note: While the pass is not available to veterans and retirees, many of these individuals are eligible for other discounted passes, such as the Senior Pass, granting lifetime access to U.S. citizens over 62 for $10, and the Access Pass granting free lifetime access for permanently disabled U.S. citizens.
(Thanks, Sue!)
