As any even once a year outdoor explorer knows, some of the best parks in North America lie within the U.S. National
Parks system. One of the most cost effective ways to take in a lot of them is through a 2005 National Parks Pass. The
pass ($50) is good for a full year from the first time it is used, providing access to all of the parks during that
time. It can be personalized with up to two names when purchased online or over the phone. It also comes with an
“owner’s manual”, which provides information on the parks plus maps. Eighty percent of the proceeds go directly back to
the parks.
