The Senior Pass is not only good for the national parks. It's gives entrance to many more types of national sites and there are many of them around you:

That's nice, but not a single facility listed charges an admission. The Gulf Island National Seashore is the only place I know of, within 500 miles of me that charges an admission charge. There are actually few places east of the Mississippi that allow me to use my pass when compared to the West. Not only are there fewer National Parks, most of them' like Smoky Mountain National park are free to enter. BLM land in the East is practically nonexistent.
The Senior Pass, however, is, and has been, useful to to me many times at federal campgrounds, such as U. S. Army Corps parks.
