My National Park pass expires at the end of September. However I anticipate using one on October 3rd.
If I buy one now, it's only good until the end of September 2020, so I lose out on a month.
If I buy one on October 1, it won't arrive in time to use on October 3.
Am I just out of luck and have to eat a month? I know it's a small thing, but still ...

I always bought mine right at a National Park. Where are you going and do they have a place attended by a person where you pay like an entrance station? They should sell them right there. I have always done that at the two closest National Parks to us and when we were going there anyway. Once I went into the ranger station itself and bought it there.

Wherever they would be charging the daily fee or checking your pass on October 3, just buy the pass on the spot.

I just bought my lifetime senior pass. Not all places sell the passes. Where are you headed?

I got my geezer pass several years ago.
I waited long enough to be eligible, so I got one as soon as I could.

I bought a Northwest Forest Pass online once, a couple days before the trip, knowing it wouldn't arrive in time. I printed out the receipt and put that up against my windshield. Got no ticket, so clearly it worked.  |

I got my "Geezer Pass" when it was still only $20.

Well mine was only 10 bucks. Got it just before the jump to $80 about three years ago. It’s good for a lifetime.  |

I believe Senior ANNUAL passes are still 20 bucks and if you save 4 of them they apparently give you the lifetime one.
