Fee free days provide opportunities to explore new places or enjoy old favorites. Out of more than 400 national park sites, just over 100 charge an entrance fee. The entrance fee waiver for fee free days does not cover amenity or user fees for activities such as camping. For more information, please visit: https://www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/fee-free-parks.htm
Veterans and Gold Star Family members qualify for a free Interagency Lifetime Military pass that provides entry into more than 2,000 federal public lands and waters, including all National Park Service sites. Lifetime Military passes cover all occupants of one private vehicle or up to 4 individuals at per person fee sites. Passes are valid for the lifetime of the pass holder. Lifetime Military passes may be obtained in-person at participating federal fee areas, including Bandelier. They may also be obtained online through the US Geological Survey online store (with a $10 processing fee). Current US Military and their dependents qualify for a free Annual Military pass with valid identification. For more information about the Lifetime and Annual Military passes, as well as accepted forms of ID, visit: https://www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/veterans-and-gold-star-families-free-access.htm
In addition, there will be discounts at the park store, which is operated by the Western National Parks Association. They are an official non-profit partner of the National Park Service dedicated to supporting the educational mission of Bandelier National Monument.
