If you are 62 years or older and think you might be visiting our National Parks and National Recreation areas, one of the great last deals will end at 11:59 pm Eastern daylight time on August 27th. That’s when the National Park Senior lifetime pass is raised from $10 to $80. Passes can be purchased at National Park sites, but many have run out so they can still be purchased on line at this link for $20 . (for online purchase costs $10 dollars more) store.usgs.gov/... The pass provides access to more than 2,000 sites managed by six Federal Agencies including:
National Park Services
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
Bureau of Land Management
Bureau of Reclamation

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
The pass covers entrance and day use recreation fees and provide possible discounts on some expanded amenity recreation fees.
see the site listed above, click on the bright desert cactus flower that says SENIOR PASS. Some specifics are:
1. For U.S. citizens or permanent residents (don’t know how they know that when you apply online)
2. Provides entrance or access to pass owner and accompanying passengers in a single, private, non commercial vehicle.
3. Passes are non-refundable, Non transferable and CANNOT be replaced if lost or stolen. A new pass will need to be purchased.
