The 2026 America the Beautiful Pass has a few changes that you should be aware of.

For U.S. Residents

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.

• Military Pass for current US military and dependents — Free
