National Parks Free Annual Pass for U.S. Military

National Parks Free Annual Pass for U.S. Military

 

The key word is FREE.  A free annual pass to the National Parks and other federal recreational sites is available to U.S. military members and dependents in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard.  Reserve and National Guard members also qualify for a free pass.

The annual passes for the U.S. Military may be obtained in person at a Federal recreational site by showing a Common Access Card (CAC) or Military ID (Form 1173).

There is no special pass for veterans.  However, a lifetime pass is available for $10 for those at age 62 or above.  Citizens with a permanent disability may qualify for a free pass.
