Anyone know if the new national park passes cover BLM day use fees, like the $2 fees at Virgin River or Red Cliffs near St. George?

From the BLM website it sorta sounds like it does, but the staff at the local BLM office thought it didn't. I figure alot of people here could confirm, one way or the other. thanks!

if these are entrance fees then yes it works. but i think they are use fees and therefore the card does not cover these.

one correction this is the 'all-agency America the Beautiful Pass'. can no longer call it a national park pass.

Well it does say that the pass covers entrance & standard amenity fees. According to their definition of standard amenity fees, I would think the facilities at both Red Cliffs & Virgin River would qualify.

However, the BLM office did say the same exact thing you did regarding covering entrance fees only. Although, they didn't sound very confident. Anyone with personal experience at these places?

I don't mind paying $2 every time I bring visitors there, but if ya don't have to pay...

go to this website for a definition of 'Standard Amenity Fees'.
