America’s national parks are celebrating Veterans Day with free lifetime passes for those who served their country. Starting on November 11th, all Veterans and Gold Star Families will be granted ‘America The Beautiful’ passes, granting free access to all national parks, such as the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, and Mt. Rushmore.

The change extends to veterans and Gold Star families the existing free admission policy already in play for active-duty troops and their families, as well as Guard and Reserve members. It waives both entrance and day-use recreation fees for lands managed by the Department of the Interior nationwide according to Military.com.

Interior Secretary David L. Bernhardt says the passes allow veterans to visit “the iconic and treasured lands they fought to protect.” If you want to know more about this program click here!

  • Montana Forests Struggle With Climate Change

    Share

    GLACIER NATIONAL PARK, MONTANA - SEPTEMBER 17: U.S. Park Service Revegetation Crew Lead Carleton Gritts hikes through fog among the trees blackened by the 2017 Sprague Creek Fire on his way to the Mt. Brown Lookout Station September 17, 2019 in Glacier National Park, Montana. Gritts' crew planted 585 two-year-old whitebark pine seedlings among the skeletal remains of this forest because the tree grows more successfully in ground that was recently burned. With annual average temperatures in Montana rising almost three degrees Fahrenheit since 1950, high elevation tree species like the whitebark pine that were not previously threatened are now facing an increase in blister rust infections, mountain pine beetle infestations and wildfire. A slow-growing species that lives at elevations above 6,000 feet, the whitebark is an essential source of food for many birds and small mammals. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
