This won't apply to most here, but might be good for our parents. The Natl Park Service is raising the cost of a Sr Citizen lifetime pass from $10 ($20 if online) to $80 ($90 online!) sometime this year so now if the time to order. C&P from SD (don't bother going there to read the thread - bunch of whiners complaining that old people don't deserve free and cheap stuff... sigh)
*****
For a limited time, senior citizens can get a lifetime National Parks pass for just $10. The price is set to increase sometime this year and will then cost $80.
If you're a U.S. citizen, or permanent resident, aged 62 or older this pass gets you free admission into 2,000 federal recreation sites, including all of the National Parks, for life.
Officials have not yet announced the date of the price increase, but they say it will be sometime this year. It's a good idea to act quickly so you can grab this deal while it lasts.
You can get this lifetime pass by visiting a National Park or any federal recreation area. You can also order one by mail, though you'll have to pay an additional $10 processing fee.
