(26,619 posts)6 years ago when I turned 62. The cost went down after that. But, $50 lifetime for all national parks? I got my money's worth the first year!

This article from 12/2016 tells what the money will be used for. http://travel.aarp.org/articles-tips/articles/info-2016/national-parks-lifetime-pass-cost-increase.html

(83 posts)I recently moved to Colorado and had no idea a Senior Park Pass even existed. I just ordered one online for $20 and am so happy to be able to explore all the beautiful parks in Colorado for free! So awesome - thanks again!
