Reduce wait times by having your pass ready (printed on paper or displayed on your device) when you arrive at the entrance.
Passholders can print a copy of this pass and display it on the vehicle's dashboard for ease of display. Those traveling in open-topped vehicles or on motorcycles should carry the pass with them and be prepared to present it to NPS staff upon request.
