In recognition of public land day starting 1916 entrance fee began to charge admittance to national locations and a few days a year were and are still waived. The days alter via federal choice each year and are often marked as federal day or even holiday. These days are often the choice each year - January as Martin Luther King Jr. day, April as first day of national park week, August 25 as national park service anniversary, late September as national public land day, November 11 as Veterans Day. A yearly pass is a good option if planning to visit more than two or three national locations a year that charge admittance. America the beautiful pass is good for entry to federal recreation sites for one year from the date of purchase. Those over 62 years or older are eligible for the senior or access pass. Purchase a pass at Zion National Park as its my favorite to keep a large degree of the funds you pay in just Zion rather than shared throughout the park system. Zion National Park is one of the most visited parks in the world and Utah is low fund area so every fee helps it maintain itself with the massive number of visitors it does get. The pass allows access to national sites such as historic, military parks, battlefields and parks, memorials and shrines, preserves, parkways, seashores, rec areas, monuments, lakeshores and other miscellaneous national ways. A national pass does not cover city, county or state. |

Visit Southwest Utah- Zion National Park and Grand Canyon National Park are only two of the Southwest's great adventures and although they are considered to be the most noteworthy gems among the jewels Bryce Canyon National Park is a strong competitor. National Parks and National Monuments of Southern Utah and Northern Arizona make up my suggested vacation Itinerary. This group of natural wonders are near each other and connected by scenic byways so nothing else on Earth can compare.
