Hi all,
der heutige National Park Pass hieß bis vor zwei oder drei Jahren Golden Eagle Pass. Heute gibt es beide. Der National Park Pass kostet 50$ und der Golden Eagle Pass kostet 65$. Der National Park Pass berechtigt zum Eintritt in alle National Parks und National Momuments. Mit dem Golden Eagle Pass hat man Zutritt zu weiteren staatlichen Einrichtungen. Hier ein entsprechender Auszug:
National Parks Pass And Golden Eagle Passport
If you will be visiting a large number of US National Park Service areas then the National Parks Pass is well worth considering. This costs $50 (as at summer 2000). This pass gives unlimited admission for one year from the date of purchase at all National Park Service Areas, including all National Parks and National Monuments.
For an extra $15 the National Parks Pass can be upgraded to a Golden Eagle Pass which gives entrance for one year to all Federal Fee Areas, in other words all the areas administered by:
The National Park Service (the National Parks, the National Monuments, etc).
The Bureau of Land Management.
The Fish and Wildlife Service.
The Bureau of Reclamation.
The Army Corps of Engineers.
The Tennessee Valley Authority.
The Forest Service (not that there is usually an entrance fee for National Forests).
The Golden Eagle upgrade is indicated by a small "Golden Eagle" sticker affixed to the standard National Parks Pass card.
These passes only covers entrance fees, not usage fees. For example, they do not include fees for accommodation, camping, cave tours, boat rentals, tram tours and so on.
Nor is these passes valid for entrance to US State Parks, Canadian National Parks, Canadian Provincial Parks, Tribal Parks in either country or any other areas not administered by the United States National Park Service or one of the other government agencies listed above.
Damit ist auch klar, weder der National Park Pass noch der Golden Eagle Pass werden von den State Parks anerkannt.
