If you buy golden pass online you pay $10 processing/handling fee which bumps total cost to $20. If you buy the pass at any NPS entrance, you pay $10.

There is NO indication on the NPS site of any price increases.

Since when did USGS start selling NPS passes? Go to the National Parks Web site and see there's no change. I call HOAX.

You can also get the pass at any National Monument. I bought mine at the Ft Vancouver National Historical site.

I remember while working as a host in the NP campgrounds 12 years ago for that private company there were only spacific cards that we honored.
Seem to recall that Amarica the Beautiful card was not one.

Raising the price of a "Seniors Pass" will only benefit the NPS if the money goes to the NPS , Congress does not cut the funding for the parks to compensate for the increase in the Senior Pass income or the Parks are not privatized and the money does not end up in the pocket of some corporate entity.
Since it is unpopular to raise taxes for the public good , we raise user fees . A difference without a distinction.

If you haven't found it yet, here is a PDF list of the locations that can issue the various park passes (including the senior pass).

While you can get them at the entrance to most National Parks, it will hold up the line while they do the paperwork...

Thanks Jon for posting that list.
