Just because something is legal to do doesn't mean it is the smart thing to do.

Seniors use to be able to get a lifetime pass. Not sure if they still can. I got mine about 4 yrs ago.


Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking.

In national parks that charge an entrance fee, a veteran will need to present one of the following forms of identification where entrance fees are collected:

Department of Defense Identification Card (CAC Card)

Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC)

Veteran ID Card

Veterans designation on a state-issued U.S. driver’s license or identification card
Interesting that the DD Form 2 (Retired) isn't listed.

Yes, can still get them, $80 Lifetime Senior Pass.
The wife and I got ours for 10 bucks each just before a price increase a few years ago.

If you do buy any form of the pass... don't lose it! They will not replace it, you have to buy it again.


Endeavor to persevere.

If you carry a smartphone, maybe take a photo of the 8.5" x 11" document?

A few years ago, it was ten bucks for seniors. I went to get a pass, the park ranger observed me hobbling up to his booth, saw the wheelchair symbol on my license plate, asked to see my MediCare card, and issued a free lifetime pass.
