Hey,
Is it a good idea to buy the National Park Service Annual Pass for $80?
I'm planning my first cross-country trip by car, and I'm probably going to hit all the places that I've missed before because I didn't have a car: Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree, Zion, Yosemite, Yellowstone, etc. And I'll probably be sleeping on BLM land..not sure if it's helpful there.
I read that it was $30 to get into the Grand Canyon, but an $80 NPS Annual Pass gets you in free + many other places free.
I figured I'd save a lot in the long-term, but I'm wondering if there's any hidden fees that aren't covered by the Annual pass that make it seem better than it really is.
Does anyone have any experience with this pass? Is it worth it? Anything I should know before I buy it?
