I believe the NPS should change what they charge for the NPS passes.

right now the cost are as follows.

America the Beautiful Annual pass- $80
America the Beautiful Senior pass- $10
America the Beautiful Access pass- free for permanently disabled.
America the Beautiful military pass- free to active military.

The Annual pass should cost only $50 and the Senior Pass should be $80. (that is lifetime.)

10 bucks for something that last a lifetime after age 62 is crazy. Just goes to show how little government knows about cost to run stuff.

Me i am looking forward to getting my Senior pass in 2 yrs and if I have to pay 80 bucks for it then its still a STEAL..

You are so right - they do have it wrong - and if you have an issue just throw out your pass and buy a new one every year, or every trip in - we've been doing that for the last 20 years - next year when I hit 70 I might start to skip to every other year.

IMHO, I have gotten so much more than I've paid for.

JMHO,
