National Park Service lifetime “Access Pass” is available to people who are permanently disabled and their families. The pass gives you: • Free admission to all federally operated
parks, monuments, historic sites, recreation areas and national wildlife refuges. • A 50% discount on most federal use fees charged for special facilities and services, such as camping, boat launching and parking.
