gadaboutgal Posted March 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2017 The current National Park Lifetime Pass is a bargain at only $10; however, sometime next year the pass will go up to $80. For anyone 62 or over, I suggest getting it sooner than later. We have used it even when cruising. We have used it in the Virgin Islands for St. John's and for our trip up Haleakala on Maui.

Muckman2018 Posted August 3, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Thank you for posting! I had heard about this great deal, but had forgotten it. I just now ordered my pass and can't wait for an opportunity to use it! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiliconCruiser Posted August 5, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Originally heard that the magic date was going to be 8/21 from a NPS employee in Seattle, looks like it may be 8/28, at least for online applications. But you can get a senior pass for $10 from any National Park (whether they charge for admission or not,) or pay the processing fee in addition to the $10 fee to get it online. The price after that, will be $85, not $80 as indicated in the original post. Sequim88, just used it the other day going to Hurricane Ridge.

AlanF65 Posted August 9, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 9, 2017 This link gets you the pass for $20 ($10 plus $10 service fee) https://yourpassnow.com/ParkPass/park/senior/SeniorPassInfoCollect the link can be found on the page https://store.usgs.gov/senior-pass I ordered mine today as the nearest park I can buy one in is a 90 minute drive each way. If you buy through the park service the price goes up if they ship after 8-28-2017 You can also purchase at these locations https://store.usgs.gov/sites/default/files/PassIssuanceList.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NantahalaCruiser Posted August 29, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 29, 2017 And now it's $80 :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted August 29, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 29, 2017 And now it's $80 :( That's a pretty stiff increase. The park services must really be hurting lately. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzKnitr Posted September 21, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 21, 2017 That's a pretty stiff increase. The park services must really be hurting lately. :( I ordered mine in April. I had to mail also since I'm not near a park. Happy day when I received it. Actually $80/$85 for life is not a bad deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually $80/$85 for life is not a bad deal. I've only used mine 3 times- Alaska, Hawaii & San Juan. The people living out west really have an advantage to use it.:) Here in Florida, not so much. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pass is the best excuse to "See the USA" i have traveled to all 50 states and collected passport stamps from serveral parks. Here is a page for the parks in Florida: https://www.nps.gov/state/fl/index.htm. Happy travels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stick with cruises- to islands that haven been hit with disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
