Golden Access Pass Gives Families of Children with Permanent Disabilities Free Access to U.S. Parks

Golden Access Pass  Gives  Families  of Children with Permanent Disabilities Free  Access to  U.S.  Parks, Monuments, Historical sites, Recreation  Areas, and National Wildlife Refuges
The Federal Government offers citizens who are  blind or permanently disabled   (deafness qualifies) a free pass to national parks,  monuments, historical sites, recreation areas and national wildlife refuges that charge an entrance fee. The Gold Access Passport is a lifetime entrance pass providing admission to the pass holder and everyone in a   private vehicle (if the park offers a per vehicle entrance fee.) The passport also gives a 50% discount of fees charge for facilities and services such as camping, swimming, parking, boating and tours.   It also works for sites managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Forest Service the Bureau of Land Management, and the Army Corps of Engineers. The pass must be obtained in person with proof (such as an audiogram) of the disability.  The card is available at most national parks, federal recreation areas and Army Corps campgrounds.  For more information here is the link below. www.us-parks.com/golden_access_passport.html
