I'm surprise how many people are unaware of the America the Beautiful pass. We used it one year to visit 11 national parks. It easily saved us $200. I will offer a few additions. The senior pass is no longer $10. It is now $80, but it still includes lifetime access. Best of all, the pass covers all vehicle occupants or up to four people (pass holder plus three adults) when entry fees are charged by the person. They also offer several free annual pass options for current military, volunteers, persons with permanent disabilities, and even 4th graders.

This is an incredible bargain. Note too that some of the best parks in California are state ones. Your entrance fee/parking pass for one is good for all others on the same day, as long as their prices are the same or cheaper. Be sure to save these tickets because many parks are close together.

Never knew that such a card exists for visiting USA National Parks. It is really economical if we want to visit more than 4 parks in an year.

There are also a few fee free days (like today) that visitors can keep an eye out for. this card is great – and handy that it is valid for an entire year.
