    The Discover Pass is more than just a parking pass — it gives you unlimited access to millions of acres of natural beauty, culture and history across the state. It's your key to adventure on lands managed by Washington State Parks, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW).
    Passes like this cost $100-$500 in other states, which don't have nearly natural wonders. 
    But, for $30 now and $45 after Oct. 1, your pass gets you unlimited access to over 100 state parks, 350 recreation sites, 700 water access spots, 80 natural areas and 33 wildlife areas. And that's not even the half of it.
    The Discover Pass also gets you free admission to museums, lighthouses and visitor centers like:
    • The Goldendale Observatory, one of the few public telescopes in the country, where you can be among the stars.
    • Ginkgo Petrified Forest Interpretive Center, where you can learn about the petrified forest and see sweeping views of the Columbia River.  
    • The Civilian Conservation Corps museum at Deception Pass, where you can learn about this Roosevelt-era initiative that helped pull the country out of the Great Depression. 
    • The Dry Falls Visitor Center, where you can explore the largest prehistoric waterfall from the Ice Age floods.
    And your dollars stay right here. 100% of Discover Pass revenue goes back into maintaining parks and public lands.  
    Your purchase directly supports trail upkeep, facility improvements and habitat protection. Pass revenue helps fund employment for park rangers and other staff. Your purchase helps keep restrooms clean, parking safe and signage up to date. 
    Our state lands belong to all of us. The Discover Pass helps us protect and enjoy them together.
