Senior Pass - Motorcycle Sticker
I have a senior pass. The hard thing is finding a place that will issue the motorcycle sticker. I have checked the national parks website for the senior pass, it will list several places where you should be able to pick-up the motorcycle sticker. I usually run in to " never heard of that" or " yes we are authorized, but they have not sent me the stickers".
The last place I was able to pick up the sticker was at Big Ben, TX. I hope I can get it issued in St. George, UT.

Was a nice ride over the top through the wheat fields, and came back along the Columbia river., high Temp. was 90º.
90* ? That's a cold night here in Tucson. Good tip, been using my senior pass now for 22 years. Also it is good for everyone in your car or on your motorcycle. Remember it is only good for National and not State Parks.
FYI 40 year resident of Bainbridge Is. and Redmond Wa. Miss that place.

Never heard of the sticker. Always just flash my card whatever I am driving.

My senior pass isn't a sticker but a card I carry.

I agree. No sticker, just plastic ID card.

Isn't Big Ben in London? How did you get your bike over there? Or, did someone bring it over to Texas like a lot of other landmarks that have come across the pond?

Senior Pass - Motorcycle Sticker
To get the motorcycle sticker, you show your senior pass and motorcycle registration and they will give you a sticker (free of charge) so you do not have to pull out the card, they just have to look at the sticker. The sticker is only good for a year. So you have to keep getting a new one every year. It is just difficult finding a national park that has them to issue.
Regards

Sticker
I receive a lifetime pass for being 100% disabled veteran when wife I went into a National Park for the first time on our bike, I asked the attendant working what to do in a case where the gate is not manned since we cannot just hang it from out mirror and lock the door.
I was told to either just park and it should be ok when they see a bike they assume they person has a pass and or just leave your phone number on the seat so if you are away from your bike they could call and verify you had the pass (and you could get that added benefits of all the freaks calling you too). I did not like either of the answers but that is what I got.

Hey Jack
They have then at Saguaro National Park (West) on Kinney
I personally think they are to cheap and the National Parks need funds. IMHO

Parks Canada National Parks pass to all of Canada's National parks is free this year. 2017 is Canada's 150th birthday and so the gift. Plus the Canadian dollar is trading at 30% off par with the American dollar. Such a deal !!!

Here you go
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service
How do I display my pass?
Your pass must be fixed to a section of untinted windscreen on the right-hand side of your motor vehicle, where it doesn’t obstruct the driver's vision. For motorcycles, it’s recommended the annual pass be stuck to a registration label holder (available from auto accessory stores) which is affixed to any suitable mounting or bracket at the front-left-hand side of the motorcycle.

Picked mine up today at Denali. Cost will be going to $80.00 end of August. Just in time for the leaf-peepers in the lower 48. It's good for the bearer and 3 additional people in the group.

US park pass
we got our national park last year just a plastic card just show the card and drive in works at all national parks never heard about a sticker except in state parks like here in Minnesota motorcyclists here get state park passes that are cards, stickers must be displayed on the windshield only on autos, trucks, or RVs.

Annual pass for what? Surely not National Parks. Or is that the charge for those who aren't senior qualified?

Unmanned
I think the sticker in question is for when the gate is unmanned, we just went to Acadia National Park and there was no one manning the gate when we arrived, we were in our car proceeded to Cadillac Mountain later there was a ranger looking for the card being displayed in vehicles. This would not be ideal for a bike as there would be no way for sticky fingers not to take the card if you left it hanging.
In a prior post, I put what I copied off the National Park Website, but even that does not seem to secure.

FYI, for any disabled Veterans there is another pass called Access Pass. You can pick it up at your local game warden office and it allows you free entry into any national parks and some discounts on certain park amenities. Also, it is FREE!

If you're 62+ years old, you can get a Senior pass for $10 at a NP or $20 by mail until the price goes up to $80.
