Lifetime National Park Pass

[Paymaster]

I have had my pass for three years now. I use it more on Corp of Engineer campgrounds than anything else. Very nice!!!!!!!

Bucky, once you turn 62 you can purchase a National Park Senior Pass for $10 up until August 28.
We got ours as soon as DH turned 62.

The pass is not going away. The cost will increase to $80.

I've had one for years. It has paid for itself many times over.

OK, I'm confused...... It says you can apply for the senior pass in one of two ways, either in person or by mail. It does not mention online.

You can get them at park ranger stations including some but not all park entrances. I got my first at a toll booth.

A word to the wise. They are not replaceable. You lose you pay. I know this from personal experience.

 

[Bigjim68]

Yeah, not for use into State Parks.
Here's the site, check it out, and yes, you can apply for an America the Beautiful Senior Pass online

Some state parks are non pay for seniors. The pass is acceptable as ID in the ones I have visited.

Your nationalparks cost? *confused*

 

[roadfix]

20 bucks. Lifetime pass. Ordered it before the big price increase last month.

Wow, ours are free, some of the islands you have to pay the ferry or get your own boat.

 

[roadfix]

Wow, ours are free....

Ok, but do you have The Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and Yosemite Nat'l Parks?

Wow, ours are free, some of the islands you have to pay the ferry or get your own boat.

The people in your country are willing to pay a *lot* higher taxes than the majority of the people in our country for national services like that. It's unfortunate, since people who don't have a lot of money can't experience these things.

Roadfix: Nope, but we Sarek ( no not Spocks dad, we had Sarek before that), Gotska sandön, Blå Jungfrun and Stora Mosse to mention a few.
