37 Comments on The National Park Service-Get Your Pass And Start Exploring!
One wonders if we shouldn't reverse the scenario...spend most of our time in the parks and just occasionally go into the city
Kathy, great post. I visited about 5 parks last year. Our parks are our national treasure. Great post, great topic.
When my parents retired and began to travel they spent a summer going from park to park all over the country. I just emailed her to ask if they had the senior lifetime passes. We have a national park right here in my town, so if they don't they can run over and get them.
I've seen a few, but want to see many many more.
Dorie- I didn’t either, but Larry got a Sr. Pass since he’s out at Arthur R. Marshall every week kayaking!
Bobbie- I never thought of following them on FB...that’s a good idea.
Silvia-I agree... We have Everglades National Park further south that’s included too!
Janis- I know there are some that could cost a family $40 to get in. If you’re on summer vacation this could save quite a bit of money.
Michael-I love that Military personnel are free.
Roy- this works out great for you since you need plenty of places to go with you camera.
Ed & Tracy- you’re in AZ so I’d bet there are a lot of parks in your area.
BARFF- did you know you have Dayton Aviation Heritage National Park in OH?
Kathy- I remember Yellowstone but it’s been so long ago!
Eric- that’s a great tip! I bet we haven’t explored all of the parks available in this area..you’re right about that!
Debbie- I think it’s a good deal for anyone over 62.... and it’s a lifetime pass!
Scott- don’t know if you went to Everglades National Park when you were in Florida.
Gary- Pass this info. along to him and please give him our thanks for serving.
Joan-I don’t know how some families do it when they try to go on vacation. Just the admission prices alone could make a huge dent in the vacation budget.
Irene-be sure to tell your grandson about the free passes for Military personnel.
Robert- you are so right about the value of AR... all you have to do is put a topic in the search bar.
Anthony- have to admit that I got that one from my clip art source but the last one I took at Arthur R Marshall.
Richie-my uncle used to say that we had it all wrong... we should do all of our traveling first while we’re young enough to climb the mountains, etc, and then work when we’re older.
Cheryl-oh my gosh Cheryl, you are in a wonderful area for that and you’re close to VA as well. Click on the link “Find One in your state”!
Eagle Ridge Realty- Wow.. I hope you had the annual pass!!
Tammy-make sure they get the pass and remember it’s a lifetime pass!!!
I didn't know that National Parks Service had any deals that could save us money. That's awesome!
Hi Kathy, this is great news that is timely for the summer vacation soon to be upon us. I can qualify for one of these, and it is not the military one. :)
Kathy,
Great information. My husband & I are planning a trip & I made note of a few parks where we can apply for senior pass. Thanks.
Chris Ann- Think how families can save with these passes!
Sandy- so can I!! And it's not the military either!
Mary- don't forget..it's a lifetime pass!!!
Good post Kathy. With Yosemite National Park being so close to me I always buy a pass. I get my moneys worth out of it and more.
I didn't know you could buy a yearly pass like that. Thanks for the info.
Hi Kathy...
I read your post this morning but for some reason I forgot to comment. Did you know that by agreement with the states of North Carolina and Tennessee that the Great Smoky Mountains National Park cannot charge an admission fee?
Congratulations on the feature Kathy and also on drawing everyone's attention to the value of 'our' parks!
Our family love our national parks... everyone should take advantage of them and this deal! We travel with my parents a lot during the summer and senior citizens get free park passes!

Kathy:
Great information. Our National Parks are all treasures that we need to protect. We have a few in California, but my favorite is Yosemite. It is gorgeous, especially in the winter.
Kathy, congrats on the feature. We have many parks here...we need to get some senior passes!
Kathy, back in 2005 my husband retired. We sold our house and most of our belongings, bought an RV and hit the road. We paid $50 for an annual pass back then. We visited over 50 national parks and monuments. Boy did we get our monies worth as we traveled the country that year. This is one of the best values any family can find.
Jim- way to go! Wouldn't it be nice if everyone in the US could see these great treasures.
Erica- its' a great savings and especially for those over 62.
Richard- I did not know that but sounds like a possible blog topic you should write!!!
Al & Peggy- they are ours and we should really try to see them.
Gretchen- I remember my parents taking me to see the Grand Canyon and the Painted Desert.
Evelyn- I've got to go back there!!! That would make a great road trip!
Great information about the local area. I love the national parks and it's definitely a fun family activity!
Kathy, I love our Nations parks and though I have been to many there are so many more to explore. This is one of the great treasures we have given the world.
