Golden
Eagle
For an additional $15, a
Golden Eagle hologram may be purchased and affixed
to a National Parks Pass to cover entrance fees
at not only national parks, but also at sites managed
by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U. S.
Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management.
The Golden Eagle holograms are available at National
Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau
of Land Management fee stations. The Golden Eagle
admits the pass signee and any accompanying passengers
in a private* vehicle if a park has a per vehicle
entrance fee. Where a per person entrance fee is
charged, the Golden Eagle admits the pass signee,
spouse, children and parents. The Golden Eagle is
nontransferable and does NOT cover or reduce use
fees such as charges for camping, parking, tours,
and concessions. It is valid for entrance fees only.
The Golden Eagle hologram is valid until the expiration
of the National Parks Pass to which it is affixed.
