Login, Annual Pass. If you are planning to travel to a national park, then when entering the first one, be sure to buy an Annual Pass for all parks. Its cost is $ 80, is valid for a year and pays off very quickly. One pass is needed for one car, if you suddenly enter the park without a car – you still need only one pass. At the entrance you need to show your passport, they check your photo with you and your signature. If your trip ended before December, then the pass can be sold, signatures are easily erased. You can also buy someone’s pass through the Amazon website, or from hand.
Life hack. As a rule, a box with envelopes inside is attached to the information stand. You must take one, fill in the information, put the indicated amount in it and put it in another box, after having torn off the label, with the number on an envelope, by which you can be checked. We arrived at about eight o’clock in the evening, when the rangers were already leaving, took this envelope, collected the indicated amount in it, but never dropped it into another box. If the check didn’t come, but it didn’t come, we took the money back and threw out the envelope at the exit. And if I came, we would explain in clumsy English that we are stupid tourists.
