When you arrive at a National Park show it to the ranger. You must have a printed copy, as they will not take a digital version of it. If there is no ranger, leave it on your dashboard of your car. The pass will admit all children in the family under 16 and up to 3 adults for free.
Please note this pass will not cover parking or other fees. Some sites will let you exchange the paper pass for a plastic one.
