America the Beautiful National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Passes

What is the land pass and how does it work?
Each merch box comes with a free America the Beautiful National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass. These are good for 12 months through August 2027. There is a limit of one pass per household. This pass can be used at any national park to grant free park access for one person.
Can I resell or giveaway my land pass if I don’t plan to use it?
Annual passes are non-transferable and cannot be resold.
How can I purchase other passes?
The annual pass provided in this promotion is just one of several pass options available. If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident age 62 or older, have a permanent disability, are a current US military member, a Gold Star Family member, a veteran, or are a student in the 4th grade, you may qualify for other free or discounted passes.
