Meet someone like you.

People who qualify often don't realize it. Here are a few of their stories.

Portrait of Karen, a woman in her early fifties
Chronic Illness

Karen, 52 — Boulder, CO

Karen used to hike every weekend before her lupus diagnosis. Now she watches her energy, but parks still calm her more than anything. She didn't know her condition qualified her for a free lifetime pass. Now she visits three parks a year, free.

Cardiac Condition

James, 67 — Charleston, SC

James is a retired schoolteacher who loves the coast. Heart problems mean he can't push himself like he used to. His doctor confirmed he qualified, and he got his Access Pass in under a week. Now his grandkids come along for free.

Portrait of Marissa, a woman in her early forties
Post-Injury Recovery

Marissa, 41 — Flagstaff, AZ

Marissa served two tours in the military before a back injury. She doesn't always look disabled, but hiking more than a mile is too much. Her VA paperwork qualified her, and now trips to the national forest cost her family nothing.

THE PROBLEM

Getting an Access Pass meant jumping through hoops.

  1. Schedule a doctor's appointment Wait weeks for availability. Take time off work. Explain your condition all over again.
  2. Get physician documentation signed Navigate confusing federal requirements. Hope your doctor uses the right language the first time.
  3. Visit a federal recreation site or mail USGS Drive to a park entrance with your paperwork, or mail it in and wait weeks for delivery.

Before Rocket Records, there was only one way to do this, and it was exhausting.

I've had MS for years and had no idea I qualified for a free lifetime park pass. The whole process took two days. I've already saved more than the cost in one summer of camping trips.
