Does an America the Beautiful pass cover Rocky Mountain?

Direct answer

Yes. The pass covers the entrance fee and does not cover reservations, timed entry, or permits.

Coverage, kept separate

Accepted: Yes
Entrance fee: Covered
Reservations and permits: Not covered

A pass covers the entrance fee only. It does NOT include a timed entry permit — the permit and the pass are separate, and you need both during reservation hours. Resident Annual $80, Non-Resident Annual $250, Senior Annual $20, Senior Lifetime $80; Military, Access and 4th Grade free. An Annual or America the Beautiful pass waives the $100 per-person non-U.S.-resident fee. From 2026 the servicewide fee-free days apply to U.S. residents only.
