and in my opinion still a bargain. There is getting to be so many of us and we can contribute
better than many young people and you still can get a yearly pass for $20.00.
Still a bargain.

Just to let you know you still can get the Super dooper bargain. Until I believe August 28.

I purchased mine last October, and it now resides in my wife's car - our primary traveling vehicle. This is good reminder to put this on my pre-trip packing list, so that if we take a different vehicle, I remember to take along the pass.

Unfortunately, if you lose the pass you will need to purchase another. Here is a link with additional information:

Additional Details about the Senior Pass

Look under "Senior Pass Use", point number 6

What if my Senior Pass is lost, stolen or damaged?


If lost or stolen, you'll need to buy another one.
If damaged, it can be replaced as long as a portion of the pass is identifiable and you show proper identification.

Better not lose it than. Its worth money.

I picked my pass up at the Forestry center in Tofte a few years ago getting a camping permit. I assume you can still do that?

Paid for itself many times over and well worth replacement if I should lose it.

My gosh it is so cheap for the return you can get on it. Both monetary and more important recreational.

I have mine and it is a deal and a half. It has always made me feel a little guilty. My wife and I are not rich by any means but we always feel a little guilty when we use the pass. You pull up to a National Park and get waived through for free. Next in line comes a 30 year old couple with 2 kids and very limited money. They have to pay full price. It almost seems backwards to me.
Not that I am volunteering to turn my senior pass in, however! And it saves eight bucks every time I go to the BW.

My wife turns 62 in December. We tried to buy one for her in June, knowing the price increase was coming. No luck, they will not allow a prepay for those not yet 62.
I guess I have to stay healthy for as long as my wife lives since the pass just covers one person and can't be transferred to a surviving spouse.

That is kind of how I feel. Kind of guilty,but as long as it is that way I will use it.
