National Parks Lifetime Senior Pass Price Increase

[monik7]

I read in an AARP article this morning that the cost of the national parks senior pass is scheduled to increase sometime in 2017 from $10 to $80. The increase will be used to improve and upgrade national parks. So I thought I'd post this so anyone 62 or older who doesn't yet have a pass, or if you'll turn 62 this year, you might want to think about getting one sooner rather than later. The pass gets you into national parks free and can reduce camping fees in national parks by 50%.

Get your pass before the price goes up. Some people don't realize that these work in any U.S. Army Corps of Engineers site. I use mine frequently to get half-price camping at Saylorville, Red Rock, Rathbun, and Coralville in Iowa.
