"I'm on year seven of buying an America the Beautiful Pass ($80), and I can't stress enough how much joy this annual pass brings into my life. The pass allows myself (plus one vehicle containing up to four people) unlimited admission into all of our gorgeous National Parks, as well as other sites managed by the federal government. I've been to Yosemite National Park four times this year, and considering the park entrance fee is $30, the pass has already paid for itself. Beyond the sheer beauty of these places, I've been able to experience some life-changing hikes, climbs, and backpacking trips. I've also met an incredible group of people on each adventure. Even if you don't get out as much as I do, I still encourage you to invest in one — having access to this land is something special and we should do what we can to make sure the National Park Service has the finances to stay operational." — Michele Foley, senior editor, Fitness
