A bill that would give all veterans and Gold Star families free access to national parks and public federal lands for life and was named after Alexander Lofgren, an Arizona congressional aide who died at Death Valley National Park in April, passed through the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday.
The Alexander Lofgren Veterans in Parks (VIP) Act bipartisan bill H.R. 4300 would permanently waive national park fees for any veteran or Gold Star family member. The legislation would also give free annual passes to active-duty military for national parks and federal recreational lands.
U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-Iowa, a veteran who served 24 years in the Army, presented the bill with U.S. Rep. Ruben Gallego, who is also a veteran, in July.

DEATH VALLEY NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) A hiker from Washington state has been found dead in Death Valley National Park, where temperatures can be among the hottest on Earth, authorities said Thursday.
Douglas Branham, 68, of Tukwila, had planned a 12-mile (19-kilometer) round trip through the salt flats of the California park but missed a flight home on Tuesday.
A California Highway Patrol helicopter crew discovered his body Wednesday about 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from the closest road, according to a joint statement from the park and the Inyo County Sheriff’s Office.
“Helicopter rotors struggle to create enough lift in hot air, and temperatures were about 115 degrees Fahrenheit at the time,” the statement said.
