If you're looking for the geezer pass, you can purchase one at any National Historic Site as well as a National Park. Probably the other passes as well, but I was looking for the geezer pass.
Retired and visiting as much of this beautiful country as I can.
If you have a service connected disability, you can get the Access Pass. It is free and good for your lifetime and works the same way the other passes work. We just went to a national park with our documentation and signed up for it there.

According to the web site, it all depends on the impact your disability has on you.
3.Who qualifies for the Access Pass?
The Access Pass may be issued to U.S. citizens or permanent residents of any age that have been medically determined to have a permanent disability that severely limits one or more major life activities.
A permanent disability is a permanent physical, mental, or sensory impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, such as caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working.

Check here for documentation needed to qualify. Most "permanent disabilities" will qualify you. The notice from SS Disability that you have qualified is enough. access pass info
My wife and I camp in a Toy Hauler and will sometimes each ride our own motorcycle into a national park. Does anyone know if a Annual Pass with both our names on it will cover entry fees at National Parks. While we will be on separate vehicles,it will just be the two of us.
We visited Mt. Rainier National Park several weeks ago in a car and asked the gate attendant. After several minutes, he was unable to answer us.

Until I was old enough to get my Senior Pass, I always bought the Annual Pass (price varied throughout the years) at the first NPS fee-collecting facility I visited after the previous pass expired.
That way I was not buying passes in years I was not visiting parks, and I almost always got my money's worth from the passes I did buy. My travel was in places where the parks and monuments were clustered, i.e. out West or in the coastal southeast.
I tried that in the Texas state park system, one year I visited enough to pay for the pass, a couple other years I didn't get back into the parks often enough, with enough people in the car, to cover the pass.

You can't buy it online, so you'll have to check locally to see where you can pick one up. This URL has information about the Senior Pass. You'll have to copy/paste into your browser. http://store.usgs.gov/pass/senior.html#benefits
Actually, I think this has changed just recently, seems I've heard that you can now do it online, check the official site to make sure.
