National Park Foundation Guide

The National Park Foundation just put out a guide to the parks and "What not to miss". The guide is divided into different sections of the country which may include several states.

If you were lucky, you could get the Senior Pass in 2016 for $10 before they raised the price to $80.

I got the Senior Pass for $10 around 6 years ago or so. Great deal.

Since then I go to a park at least once a year and not once has a park employee asked me to produce the pass, they just wave me in so I've never actually used it. Before I got the pass, they'd stop me and charge me every year.

Maybe I just look older now and they figure what the heck, let him in.

A little while back, the PDJT administration made it so National park admission is free for veterans. I went online and got a veteran ID card. Hopefully that perk won't disappear.

Even at $80 the “Geezer Pass” is still a great deal.

I got my pass for $10 just before they raised the price. I've used it six times already.

I've had the Senior Pass for 14 years, I go in and out of N.P.s probably 30-50 times a year. I wore one out and the second one is looking pretty poor but I'm a Veteran so that's OK.

Looks like it was DEEPOCEAN that posted about the price increase:
