Senior Pass Changes
On August 28th, 2017, the price of the America the Beautiful – The National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Senior Pass will increase for the first time since 1994. The cost will increase to $80 from $10 for a lifetime pass. Seniors (age 62 & older) can also purchase an annual Senior Pass for $20. If purchased consecutively for four years, all four cards can be exchanged for a lifetime Senior Pass. The additional revenue will be used to enhance the visitor experience in parks.
While this park does not sell the America the Beautiful National Parks & Federal Recreation Lands Senior Pass and other passes, you can visit the USGS Online Store to purchase select passes (including the Senior Pass) and to order select passes. You can also visit Hopewell Culture National Historical Park in Chillicothe and purchase a Senior Pass in person for $10 until close of business on Sunday, August 27th (while supplies last).
