Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks launch ‘Yourpassnow’

Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks have partnered with digital government services provider NIC Inc. to offer digital park passes to visitors through “Yourpassnow.” Yourpassnow provides an option where visitors can now purchase their park entrance pass online.

Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, which lie sideby-side in the southern Sierra Nevada in Central California, serve as a prime example of nature’s size, beauty, and diversity. Over 1.8 million visitors from across the U.S. and the world visit these parks for the world’s largest trees (by volume), grand mountains, rugged foothills, deep canyons, vast caverns, the highest point in the lower 48 states, and more. Sequoia and Kings Canyon join several other National Parks to launch Yourpassnow, a digital solution that provides an alternative to the traditional paperbased purchase method.

Visitors can now use their personal computer or mobile device to purchase an entrance pass online, at no additional cost. Once purchased, the pass can be used immediately, stored on a mobile device or printed for later use.

Brigid Jennings, acting Revenue and Fee Program manager said, “We are super excited to be announcing this new pilot program during National Park Week. This will be another tool to help visitors in their planning before arriving at the parks.”

Yourpassnow is a pilot program with the National Park Service. For more information, visit www.yourpassnow.com.

“NIC is pleased to add Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks to our digital park pass offering,” said Sandi Miller, NIC general manger. “These parks join a growing number of national parks and forest lands delivering digital access to visitors.”
