Canadian physicians can now prescribe free national park passes as part of medical treatment

On U.S. Federal recreation lands (most sites administered by the Natioanl Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, US Fish & Wildlife Service), 36 CFR 71.13(d) prohibits recreation fees for “hospital inmate[s] actively involved in medical treatment or therapy in the area visited.” I’ve never heard of it being used, though. (That law is almost 50 years old, and I’m not sure how they define “hospital” these days; “inmates” is generally defined as “inpatients” in common usage.)
