lifetime senior pass — My Lifetime Senior Pass, Photo by slc

Turning 62 has it’s perks. Some people look forward to filing for Social Security. Not me. The one perk I have been dreaming of is getting a Lifetime Senior Pass and now I have one! Just $80! I can now get into all federal recreation land areas, including national parks, without paying another fee.

Living within an hour and a half from Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) is wonderful. But during the pandemic outbreak, national parks were closed to visitors. When they reopened, they did so with an online reservation system.

That online reservation requirement expires on October 11th at RMNP. I am hoping to hike that day and many days in the future. All I’ll need is my Lifetime Senior Pass and my camera! Want to go with me?

Do you enjoy visiting national parks like I do? If you are 62 or over and don’t have a senior park pass yet, now is the time, even if you don’t know if you’ll use it any time soon. The price is going up from $10 to $80 on August 28! Too bad I’m not 62 yet!
