Do I still need a reservation if I have the pass?Updated 3 months ago

<p><strong>Yes.</strong> The America the Beautiful Annual Pass covers entrance fees, but it does <strong>not replace</strong> timed-entry or day-use reservation requirements.</p>

<h3>How It Works</h3>

<p>Some popular parks require a reservation in addition to the pass, especially during peak season. When booking your reservation, you can apply your pass toward the entrance fee portion — but you still must present the <strong>physical pass</strong> at the park gate.</p>

<h3>Parks That May Require Reservations</h3>

<p>Reservation requirements change seasonally. Parks that have required timed-entry or day-use reservations in recent years include Yosemite, Rocky Mountain, Glacier, Acadia, and Haleakala, among others.</p>

<h3>Important</h3>

<p>Check the details for your specific destination before visiting, as reservation requirements can change with limited notice. Having a pass <strong>does not guarantee entry</strong> to parks with capacity limits or reservation systems — it only covers the entrance fee.</p>
