Current U.S. military members and their dependents can get a FREE America the Beautiful annual pass - the pass that covers entrance fees at national parks and other federal recreation sites (an $80 value).
Veterans and Gold Star Family members qualify for the FREE Military Lifetime Pass instead - the same coverage, good for life, with no renewal needed.
Show a military ID, veteran ID or other accepted documentation at a federal recreation site (or order through the USGS store / Recreation.gov) to get your pass. It covers entrance and standard amenity fees at sites managed by the National Park Service, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and Bureau of Reclamation.
