Upgrades and exchanges. This pass may be upgraded at the Lava Beds Visitor Center to an annual pass, but it must be printed and returned before the expiration date. Visitors may trade a paper Annual Pass for a wallet card. Please see a park ranger during your visit for details.

White-Nose Syndrome Screening. Lava Beds National Monument has a screening process to help prevent the spread of white-nose syndrome. All visitors must obtain a Cave Permit before entering any cave. Cave permits are available free of charge at the visitor center during operating hours. The visitor center also has an after-hours screening location to complete this simple process. This process helps reduce the chances of introducing white nose syndrome to the bats that live here. Displaying the cave permit in your car window will show that you have been through the screening process.
