This is copied and pasted from another page. Thought it might be of interest to some.

 

I just want to pass on something I just learned. if you go to either fort in puerto rico and you are 62 or older instead of buying a one time 5$ pass for the day you can purchase a senior pass for 10$ that is good for life for yourself and up to 3 other people over the age of 16. It is called the national parks and federal recreation lands pass and is good at any national park in the us and terrortories

Since non-U.S. citizens & Permanent Residents read & post on this board, the rules should be clarified.

 

The "Senior Pass" t is a lifetime pass available to U.S. citizens and permanent residents who are 62 years and older. It provides access to recreation areas managed by five Federal agencies. It also provides the pass owner a discount on some amenity fees such as camping.. (see Senior Pass Benefits section). ..The pass series is collectively known as the America the Beautiful: National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass, and has something to offer everyone.

 

The United States Forest Service, the National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Bureau of Reclamation honor the Senior Pass at sites where entrance or standard amenity fees are charged.

 

Senior Passes must be purchased in person as your age must be verified, so be sure to carry a drivers license or any other document which verifies your age..

 

The new Senior Pass used to be called the "Golden Age Passport" which still can be used.. Paper Golden Age Passports will be exchanged free of charge for the new Senior Passes with proof of identification, e.g., driver's license, birth certificate, or similar government-issued document.

Thank you for the information.

Guess we should turn in our old paper Golden Age Passports which we got several years ago.

I believe that it is the same thing renamed.

The first week I turned 62 I went to our local US Forest Service office and bought my pass. It is one of the great benefits of being a "senior". Especially out here in the west were we have a ton of Nat'l parks and other US Federal Recreational Lands.

We did an RV trip to Utah, Arizona and southern Calif. this last fall and used the card multiple times. :):p

Thank you for this info. We're headed to the forts next week. Didn't know this.

[take us away]

Best pass ever! We have used it many, many places - works in any US state or territory.
