I can park at trailheads, rivers and beaches free, and in most campgrounds it costs 1/2 of the nightly fee. Maybe if all the baby boomers get one it will help the economy. WHOOPPEE.
I turned 62 in March, heard about the pass on line, few days after birthday went down to nearest USFS paid my $10 and smiled all the way home. Been camping and fishing all over Idaho this summer and pass has worked beautiful, saved many $$$. If your turning 62 soon GOT to get senior pass, old (golden age pass) still good, changed names first of year, lifetime pass for $10 dollars best deal around!!!!!!!
