On a trip to Death Valley National Park in January, I was able to purchase a lifetime pass for U.S. citizens or permanent residents to our national park system for $10. Just gotta be 62 or older.

For info on the Senior Pass, go to store.usgs.gov/pass/senior.html. The pass is also honored at sites administered by the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Fish and Wildlife Service, Forest Service and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
