Introducing your new National Parks annual pass!

Fortunately, I'm an oldster. If I were forced to buy one of these I would use some sharp object to obliterate the image on the right. I suspect national park employees who saw it would smile and wave me through.
Next, I'm sure well be seeing this on US postage.

In imitation of his buddy here:

If those Trump-image coins come to pass, I will never use them. The unmitigated gall!

Does it cover so much that the card is no longer identifiable as what it needs to be?
I used my lifetime senior pass last week at Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park in Hawaii. Glad it is good looking!

From the article:
A California sticker manufacturer and former park ranger has offered to take on printing duties if McCarty becomes overwhelmed, she said, and others have reached out with various offers of support. As of this week, however, she has not heard from the NPS or any other governmental agency about her artistic civil disobedience. She added that if park rangers won’t accept the sticker-covered pass, people can simply apply the stickers to a clear credit card holder.
Here's her web page.

The National Park Service card policy was updated this week to say that passes may no longer be valid if they've been "defaced or altered." The change, which was revealed in an internal email to National Park Service staff obtained by SFGATE, comes just as the sticker movement has gained traction across social media.
In a statement to NPR, the Interior Department said there was no new policy. Interagency passes have always been void if altered, as stated on the card itself. The agency said the recent update was meant to clarify that rule and help staff deal with confusion from visitors.
The Park Service has long said passes can be voided if the signature strip is altered, but the updated guidance now explicitly includes stickers or markings on the front of the card.
It will be left to the discretion of park service officials to determine whether a pass has been "defaced" or not. The update means park officials now have the leeway to reject a pass if a sticker leaves behind residue, even if the image underneath is intact.
