The Senior Pass is a lifetime entrance pass to United States national parks for those 62 years and older.[2] To obtain this a senior citizen need only go to any National Park Service facility that charges an entrance fee with the following:
The pass is also available for $90 by mail from the US Geological Survey (extra $10 is for postage and handling).[6] Some consider this one of the best travel bargains in the United States.[7][8][9][10][11][12] ConditionsThe National Park Service words the Senior Pass on their website as: This is a lifetime pass for U.S. citizens or permanent residents age 62 or over. Valid at Federal recreation entrance or standard amenity fee sites for: pass holder and occupants of single, private, non-commercial vehicle OR one motorcycle; OR pass holder and three persons (16 and older) where per person fees are charged. The pass can only be obtained in person at the park. The Senior Pass provides a 50 percent discount on some Expanded Amenity Fees charged for facilities and services such as camping, swimming, boat launch, and specialized interpretive services. In some cases where Expanded Amenity Fees are charged, only the pass holder will be given the 50 percent price reduction. The pass is non-transferable and generally does NOT cover or reduce special recreation permit fees or fees charged by concessionaires.[2]The now obsolete Golden Age Passport worked in a similar manner as the Senior Pass with the exception that the accompanying persons needed to be spouse and/or children of the cardholder.[13] SeriesThere are similar passes within this series:
The current fees for these should be verified at the National Park Service website which will also provide additional answers to frequently asked questions.[2][3] Participating agencies included in the pass series are the National Park Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture (Forest Service), Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management and Bureau of Reclamation.[2] Some Corps of Engineers and Tennessee Valley Authority sites may honor the Senior Pass and the Access Pass for camping discounts.[3] See also
