Interagency Passes
Beginning January 1, 2007, a new series of passes is being sold at all federal areas that charge an entrance fee. The America the Beautiful passes are valid for entrance at National Park Service, USFS, BLM, USFWS, and Bureau of Reclamation areas.
The National Park Pass, Golden Age Pass, Golden Access Pass, and Golden Eagle Pass will be discontinued at all federal fee areas, including Pinnacles National Monument. We will continue to honor any discontinued pass that is still valid, but they will no longer be available to purchase. Paper Golden Age and Golden Access passes can be exchanged for the new plastic America the Beautiful passes.
The four passes in the America the Beautiful National Parks and Federal Recreation Lands Pass interagency program are:
