If you love the outdoors, discovering new destinations, and connecting with the country’s most inspiring landscapes, the America the Beautiful National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass is your all-access key to unforgettable adventures. This annual pass provides entry to more than 2,000 federal recreation sites nationwide — including national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, monuments, and more.
Whether you’re planning a cross-country road trip, a spontaneous weekend getaway, or quick outings close to home, the pass makes exploring simple and seamless. It also makes a thoughtful, meaningful gift for travelers, families, and anyone who finds joy and peace in nature.
A smart way to save
Just three visits to popular parks like Grand Canyon, Zion, or Rocky Mountain can exceed the cost of the pass in entrance fees. Your pass covers entrance fees for everyone in a single vehicle — or, at the very few sites that charge per person, covers the pass holder and up to three additional people. Kids 15 and under are always free.

The America the Beautiful Pass remains $80 for U.S. residents.
It is now available in both physical and digital formats, and you can get both versions for the same $80.
myscenicdrives.com will continue to offer physical passes only.
Physical passes can be linked to a free digital version via your Recreation.gov account. Having both formats makes exploring easier as many parks and trailheads have limited or no cell coverage, and some sites are unstaffed. A physical pass remains the most reliable option.
Be prepared by visiting sites with either your physical pass or a printed PDF version of your digital pass. As always, visitors must show ID when requested.
Have a physical pass already and want a digital version? You can obtain one on Recreation.gov. Simply create an account and link your existing physical pass to generate the digital version.
Currently, only the Annual America the Beautiful Pass is offered digitally. Beginning January 2026, the following passes will also be available in digital form:
myscenicdrives.com will be adding Non-Resident Passes to our offerings in 2026.

Buy Now at the Current Price: Non-Residents may still purchase the $80 Annual Pass before January 1, 2026, while supplies last.
