America the Beautiful Pass Program

Effective April 23, 2019

The Annual and Lifetime Senior Passes will only be available for purchase through the Fort Spokane Visitor Center between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. They will no longer be available at our administrative offices. These passes are available in Colville, Kettle Falls, Spokane, and Cheney through other agencies.

The America the Beautiful – The National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass Series is your ticket to more than 2,000 federal recreation sites across the United States.

Passes cover:

• entrance fees at Federal operated recreation sites where per person entrance fees are charged.

• certain cards also provide a discount on certain amenity fees

In general, one pass covers the fees listed above for a driver and all passengers in a personal vehicle at per-vehicle fee areas or up to four adults at sites that charge per person. Children age 15 or under are admitted free. Some passes provide additional benefits, such as a 50-percent discount on camping at some sites for holders of Senior or Access Passes. Always check with individual sites for details.
