An America the Beautiful pass covers the entrance fee only — not wilderness permit fees, and it does not open the park highway when snow closes it. From 2026 the servicewide fee-free days apply to U.S. residents only. Lassen Volcanic is not one of the 11 parks charging the $100 non-U.S.-resident fee.
