The Golden Age/Golden Access Passports are no longer being sold.  However, the passes will continue to be honored.  The Passports have been replaced with the “America the Beautiful – The National Parks and Federal Recreation Lands Pass Program”.  Within the program the Senior Pass replaces the Golden Age Passport and the Access Pass replaces the Golden Access Passport.  Also available are the Annual Pass ($80), the Annual U.S. Military Pass, the Annual 4th Grade Pass and the Volunteer Pass.

The Corps of Engineers now has authority to issue or sell all of the America the Beautiful Passes.  Please note that the Corps of Engineers has its own Day Use Annual Pass available for $40 and is only honored at Corps-operated recreation areas nation-wide which charge a Day Use/Facility Fee.
