Why You Should Get an Annual Parks Pass

Below is a quick recap on both the National Parks Annual Pass and the Texas State Park Annual Pass.

But you might be wondering why should I get an annual pass.
– You join a cool club of fabulous people that love the parks. Your card shows your pride for the parks you visit.
– You save money! National Parks win with 3 or more visits a year. Texas State Parks win with around 12 visits a year (depending on park). Even though I don’t mind giving the parks my money.
