A treasure for those of you planning to hit the road and take in some of our National Parks or historic sites.
Golden Access Passport
The Golden Access Passport is a free, lifetime admission pass issued to U.S. citizens or persons who permanently reside (are domiciled) in the United States, regardless of age, and who have a medical determination and documentation of blindness or permanent disability. The pass is valid at National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Corps of Engineers, Fish and Wildlife Service, Forest Service, and Tennessee Valley Authority sites with admission fees.
At parks that charge individual fees, the pass admits the pass owner, spouse, parents, caregivere, and children. The Golden Access Passport also provides a 50% discount on federal use fees charged for facilities and services such as camping, swimming, parking, boat launching, and specialized interpretive services.
Golden Access Passports may be obtained only in person and upon proof of eligibility. It is suggested that you call ahead to make sure that you bring the appropriate documentation.
Anecdotal evidence of appropriate documentation: I got my GA passport at the entry gate to Rocky Mountain National Park by showing my handicapped parking permit.
Sounds easy enough. Thanks for the insight on this.
