Death Valley National Park also accepts payment in person during operating hours and honors valid Interagency Passes (Annual, Senior, Access, Military, etc.). For more information, visit the park's Fees & Passes page.
Do NOT purchase a digital site pass now if:
All visitors 16 years of age and older to Death Valley National Park are required to pay an entrance fee or to present a valid Interagency Annual and Lifetime Pass (Annual, Senior, Military, Access, etc.)
Visitors must print a hard copy of the pass before arrival. Connectivity in the park is poor.
Please print your pass before driving to the park. This allows you to drive directly to a trailhead or parking lot and leave the printed pass on your dashboard.
Visitors with valid Interagency Annual and Lifetime passes should display them in a hangtag or place them on their vehicle's dashboard. Those traveling in open-topped vehicles or on motorcycles should be prepared to present a pass to NPS staff upon request.
Failure to properly display or present a valid park pass can lead to a citation.
Travel prepared. Watch for signs of trouble. Take responsibility for your own safety. Cell service is limited.
