WASHINGTON – In order to meet requirements set by legislation passed by Congress in December 2016, the price of the America the Beautiful – National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Senior Pass will increase from $10 to $80. The change will take effect August 28, 2017. Pass holders are given lifetime access to more than 2,000 sites and parks. The fee increase will support critical investments in maintenance projects at national parks and federal recreational lands nationwide.
For those that meet the age requirement you should really buy one. I have had one for many years and have saved many hundreds of dollars. On our first trip to Yellowstone I thought I would be the only one to get in free since I was the card holder. Everyone in the car was admitted free of charge, four adults and two kids. Many states, at least in AZ, also honor the card at state facilities.
