This is an annual entrance permit to federal parks, monuments, historic sites, and recreation areas. This permit is valid for entrance fees only; it does not cover parking or camping fees. The Annual Pass admits the permit holder and your passengers in a private vehicle. For areas that have a per-person fee, you can use the Annual Pass for yourself and three additional adults. Children under 16 are free. The cost for this passport is $80 for a 12-month period.

The Access Pass can be used at the following five Federal agencies:

• Bureau of Land Management
• Bureau of Reclamation
• Fish & Wildlife Service
• USDA Forest Service
• National Park Service

Please note: Each of these agencies have different rules. You must contact the site you plan to visit to find out whether the pass is accepted there and what services and discounts are available.
