Dana Campbell from SOARS (Salem Oregon Autism Resources) found this gem: Free lifetime access passes for people with permanent disabilities AND their family members (up to 4 adults) to ALL national parks. With proof (see below), you can pick up a pass at various locations (see below). Dana found that the BLM Salem Office (1717 Fabry) can issue the pass. It must be requested in person.
