Free Day Use and Camping for Life at 50% — and the Hangtag Moves Between Cars
A Wyoming resident veteran with a service-connected disability of 50% OR MORE gets FREE DAY USE AND CAMPING FOR LIFE at Wyoming state parks, recreation areas and historic sites. It is issued as a HANGTAG USABLE IN ANY VEHICLE as long as the pass holder is present — so it is not tied to one car, which matters if you travel with family or change vehicles. Apply online with proof of residency and VA certification of the disability percentage.
