What The America The Beautiful Pass?
The America the Beautiful pass is an annual pass that gives you access to over 2,000 federal recreation lands including ALL for our national parks. Not only that but this pass also covers amenity/day-use fees at national forests, BLM lands, and many other federal lands. That means if you like camping, hiking, fishing, mountain biking climbing, or anything else that requires entering public lands there is a good chance you are covered with this pass!
Below are some of the different versions of the pass that are available, they all grant the same access they only vary in price!

How do I get a Pass?
You can either get your pass online here. If the internet ain’t your thing you can always get them in person during your trip to a national park but be sure that the park your visiting does sell them because not all of them do. Here is a list where you can see the national parks that offer the pass on admission to the park.
Should You Get a Pass?
So this is a very common question and what it really comes down to in my opinion is simple math. If you are going to get the $80 America The Beautiful Pass it only makes sense to get at least $80 worth of entrance fees out of it right? So I would say that the standard national park entrance fees hovers around 30ish dollars meaning that it would take visiting at least 3 national parks to get your money’s worth from your America The Beautiful Pass! If you are a van lifer or spend most of your free time checking out these recreational sites you can easily rack up 3 park visits and this park is a must for you!
That's a wrap!
