National Park & Federal Land Passes Explained [Changes for 2023]

Very informative my friend and a like is easy enough and sub also

80 is a total scam

What happens if you cross the gate of entrance without pay? And it’s no guards there?

I applied for the All Access pass today thx to my permanent hearing loss in my left ear. All I needed was a note from my audiologist and $10 for the online processing fee! Easily one of the best purchases I've made!! Thx for the great video!

Hello, I am still a bit confused. I am going to travel US for three weeks and would like to visit different parks. Which pass will you recommend? Is there any, lets say general monthly pass?

What other agencies do you have for the other parks that give you annual or discount passes for other parks and rec?

Why do i passionately feel like nature should be free to begin with? Am i wrong for thinking like this? Texas for example.

Thank you for your help. I’m so happy you are able to do this. I’m sure it will work on my next visit when I retire.

Got the life time disability pass 6 years ago..have never used it but it’s cool to have and maybe I will since I’m in my 30s still

👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you so much for all in great information!!!

Hi, i read one of the comments and he said the military pass doesn't get camping discounts, is that true?. I am 62 and a vet.

when entering a park do you just show them the pass or do they actually scan it when entering?

Bought the golden age (senior pass now) when I turned 62, for $20. Bought it at Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego. In those days it was only available for a year. I turned 62 very close to when the window closed!! Drove down to san Diego (90 miles) specifically to get it. Whew! I am now 80. Best purchase I ever made! Entrance fees keep going up so its value keeps going up.

I am a service related 80 percent disabled veteran and I get the access pass. It's worth the effort to get.

Parkwolf does have a fee, $4.16/month or $49.99/year

just got my access handicap pass today, I wasn't sure what it did, until I found this. Unfortunately the closet park to me is the one with parking fees, on the bright side every little bit helps

Not a citizen, just a permanent resident.

So, there's not any difference in discounts between a Senior Pass and an Access ♿ Pass? What if you're a disabled senior, do I get 100% off at parks?! Just kidding, about it being free, but not about being disabled and a senior. Is there any reason that one pass is better than the other? My husband and I will be traveling and exploring a lot, hopefully, before I become too disabled, or we run out of money😂 Seriously, is there any advantage between the two passes?

Thanks for the video. You explain this so much better than the government website did! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you so much!!!!

Great! Also Muir woods need a parking lot reservation and fee! Also you can buy the Annual Pass NP in The store REI❤❤

Great info. Thanks

Why only one particular year for the every kid outdoor pass? That's kinda bizzare to me. Sad cause we're doing a year trip his third grade year 😑

Great job!!! I understood everything. Well Done.

I am so glad I found your video, reading all the information on the websites can be a bit overwhelming. I am trying to apply for the every kid outdoors pass, but the link does not open up the site. I even tried to just google it myself, to no success. Does anyone know if something has changed? I have a trip coming this July 4th week, so I am trying to get this asap.

Thank you for the insightful information. I intend to get the annual pass and see that there can be two owners for this pass. Does it mean that I receive two copies of the card?

Thanks a lot learned a lot from you. Very detailed oriented Information. ❤

The 2023 budget request for NPS is $3 . 6 billion in discretionary funding . NPS estimates the budget will support total staffing of 20,495 full-time equivalents in 2023 .

Do I have to be the driver for the annual pass?

So. Veterans are thrown under the bus again as sub class citizens. I bought the Military pass and it is useless to me because I was wanting it for camping.

Good info

Louisiana will give you half off their State Parks camping fee when you present your inter- agency pass

I got the Access Pass when I showed them my VHIC, because it says “service-connected.” They didn’t care about my VA rating, just that my card says that.

Just ordered my Military Lifetime Pass. We will be selling the house and travel full time in a 5th wheel. It will be an incredible journey.

Do you still have to make park reservations if you have an annual pass?

GSMNP if you are disabled and have proof like plates or plaquard there is NO parking fee. But these must be visible for range to see or you will be ticketed

Thanks for the great information.

You can also enter and visit all the National Forest Parks, BLM and Fish and Game parks with this card, we own the 2023

Thank you for this video, right after I saw it I applied for the Military Lifetime Pass and got it days later. Thank you so much for the details.

im not getting passed till you can post your videos in parks again , sucks cause i used to get them annually

Military Pass: I can confirm that vets get a lifetime pass. I was renewing mine each year and on my last Joshua Pass and they finally gave me a lifetime pass. There are two VA vards. There is your VA medical card, which can work, there is a secondary VA id card that you can order. I should note mine took like 2 months. I just tell vets to get the VETERAN stamp on your license. Each state is a little different but it is worth it. That is all the rangers need.

For all passes, remember that some trailheads for National Forest Trails that normally charge for parking will allow you to use the pass (leave it visible).

Is Park wolf coming to android soon?

Great content and great timing! Thank you!

So excited about that Access pass!!! I SUFFER from bipolar disorder (it has been quite a struggle for me) and I absolutely have found nature to be more healing than medication. I bought a pass this year but to hear there is a free lifetime one made just for people like me, almost makes me feel good to have bipolar, lol! Thanks so much for this video, you just made me so excited for the adventures I have planned!!!

Just a wording tip for anyone reading. Sometimes when people including RV Miles (and the source he got it from) use the term citizen in the United States this includes people who are permanent residents but not officially citizens. You can definitely get the other passes as a permanent resident even if you aren't a citizen (sometimes people assume this, but sometimes they don't so figured it wouldn't hurt to mention this.)

Since I qualify for the American the Beautiful Lifetime Military pass, I'm going to get it online before heading to Yellowstone later this year. Once I have the pass, do I ALSO need any other proof that I served along with the pass? I don't have a VA card or Veteran designation on my Drivers License.

Awesome video with very useful information also thank you for taking the time & sharing.

Thank you, appreciate the information.
