Thank you for your interest in the National Parks Pass and the 64 Guide that was available with it. The 64-page guide to the parks was part of the former National Parks Pass program. It is no longer being printed or distributed. Beginning January 2007, the National Parks Pass was replaced by an exciting new Interagency Annual Pass that combines the benefits of several currently available federal recreation passes.  The National Park Foundation, national charitable partner for America’s National Parks, does not fulfill requests for the new Annual Pass.

The new Annual Interagency Pass offers access to all public lands across the country that currently charge entrance or standard amenity fees offering visitors a simple and cost-effective way to visit multiple recreation sites. The new Annual pass is available for $80 online at: http://store.usgs.gov/pass.

This is important! The new Interagency Annual Pass replaces the National Parks Pass, Golden Eagle, and National Parks Pass with Golden Eagle Hologram. National Parks Passes purchased in 2006 will expire 12 months from the date of first use (first punched at gate entry). If the pass was purchased but not used or punched by the end of last year, it will expire on December 31, 2007.

Note: the Golden Age Passport has been transformed into a new Senior Pass and still remains $10.00. The Golden Access Pass has been transformed into the Access Pass and still remains free to individuals with documented proof of permanent disability. All old Golden Age and Golden Access passes remain valid for lifetime. There is no need to obtain a replacement Senior or Access Pass unless you want to. Senior and Access Passes can be obtained with proper documentation at Federal recreation sites that charge an Entrance or Standard Amenity Fee. To locate a recreation site near you visit www.recreation.gov. (If you wish to obtain a Senior or Access Pass, please call a site before visiting to assure they have inventory on hand).

For information on the parks please visit www.nps.gov. Alternatively, there are comprehensive guides to the parks available at most bookstores.
