If you are 62 or older it would really behoove you to buy a Senior Pass through the National Park Service. It costs $10 and is a lifetime pass. The pass lets you and up to three others in the vehicle to enter the park without paying a fee. I found this online before I left early in May and went down to our local Federal Parks office and picked it up. For the $10 it saved us $75. It did not work at Rushmore because it is concession run and Crazy Horse is private but the other National ones the entry fee was $0. Google it and you can find all the goodies it covers besides entry. At last a benefit for getting older!

It also gets you a discount at National Forest Service campgrounds. Here in CA you have to buy a parking pass to park most places along roads in the forests, and the senior passes can be displayed for this as well.
