Beginning October 1, 2022, El Malpais National Monument will discontinue issuing the free Military Pass, Access Pass, and 4^th Grade Every Kid in a Park pass.

Due to the extremely low number of passes issued annually, National Park Service management has determined that it will no longer issue these passes. Several agencies in Albuquerque, New Mexico and the United States Forest Service in Quemada, New Mexico issue the free public land passes.El Malpais is a fee free park.
