My senior pass has been good for my wife and I to enter the parks...recently, before the price increase, I got her a card just in case something happens to me since the cards aren't transferable.

I bought my passport for $10.00 two years ago. I have heard that the new passports now cost $65.00

Yeah, I just figured if the info was there, it might help those that do.

Not on the Hogg! LOL, I see it every day. It's the nature of the beast. Most of the questions could be answered with a simple google in the first place, but this is a place to share stuff and interact a little with others.

Your right... Anyone could do what I did, Google it and get the same info that I got as well. But also, based on your last sentence, thats what I did... share stuff and interact with others on here, isn't it?

We have had no problems on entering any National Park with our Senior Pass. Last year and so far this year we have visited over 70 NPs without a problem. Both my spouse and I have one and we purchased ours for $10 each over 15 years ago. Since we both drive when we take our grandkids & Great grandkids and sometimes Scouts or other youth groups up to Haleakala NP we figured it was cheaper for each of us to have one.

I wasn't being accusatory, but just pointing out how the Hogg functions. If you look back at the thread you'll see that you were not the first to recommend checking the site and again, this is commonplace. That's all I was trying to indicate.

Dave, I didn't say you were being accusatory. I know others said to check the NPS website. But as you well know based on the posts and questions we see everyday here, many questions could be answered simply by Googling a topic all by oneself. All I did was Google the info and post it for those that might want to know, but don't/won't/can't or whatever find the info themselves.
No offense taken by what you said.

A few weeks ago used a Senior Pass to get a carload of folks in free to South and North Rim Grand Canyon,,,Bryce Canyon,,,and Arches,,,unfortunately did not cover our stay in Las Vegas !!! By the way if you have a Handicap sticker at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon,,,take it in to the Ranger Station or Main Visitor Center for a Pass through the Gate to the Beautiful Drive to the Hermits Rest,,,you will be able to take your car and avoid the Park Tour Buses which are great but crowded....

I used mine last year at Rocky Mountain National Park. None of the five people in the car were charged. (The pass has always been for a car -- not a person.) I also used it three years ago, and when I handed it to the person at the gate he said, "Boy, you don't see these very often."

Am looking at a USGS Store Website that says the Golden age Passport are valid for a lifetime, now whom are I forced to believe
They were good for a lifetime until a year or two ago, when they changed to an annual pass. I hustled to get one before the change. At the time I got it, it permitted me and up to three passengers admission into any National Park without charge.
