Hi guys,

We just touched down in California to do some national park hopping on a trip from Ireland.

We usually do a few trips per year to hit up the national parks in the US, so I have had the last 3 American the beautiful passes.

I was aware of the price increases coming up at the start of 2026, so I bought a 2025 card last December online. I got it from the site usparkpass.com.

I’ve just realised that I forgot it at home… I have order screenshots, but as far as I am aware they are not accepted. Plus I don’t believe the site is an official NPS site.

What should I do? I was supposed to be going to Yosemite tomorrow, but it’s a bit disheartening to realise my mistake will put me out $250.

Thankful for any advice.
