Are Golden Passports and National Parks Passes still valid?

If you still have a Golden Passport or National Parks Pass they may still be valid.
The Golden Eagle Passports and the National Parks Passes that were sold in 2006 will be honored until they expire. The Golden Age Passports and Golden Access Passports will continue to be honored for the lifetime of the pass holder, so both passes will be valid for many years to come.
