National Park Vacations for Retirees

Visiting a national park as a retiree is one of the most affordable and beautiful vacations you could take this summer. Here’s how to make the most of your trip:

Purchase a senior pass. U.S. citizens age 62 and older can purchase a senior pass for just $10 that entitles them to lifetime free admission to over 2,000 federal recreation sites, national parks and national wildlife refuges as well as standard amenity fees at national forests and grasslands. The pass also covers the entrance fee for other passengers in a personal vehicle at sites that charge by the vehicle, or it covers up to four adults at places that charge fees for each person. In some cases, the senior pass also provides a 50 percent discount on charges for facilities and services including camping, swimming, boat launch and guided tours.
