Most parks have a flat fee. The rule of thumb for the America The Beautiful Pass is 3. E.g. Even if you only make it to three major parks in one year, the annual pass still saves you money. Consider: in twelve months, an ambitious traveler could knock out visits to biggies like Grand Canyon National Park ($35 fee), Sequoia National Park ($35 fee), and Yosemite ($35 fee). In total, those separate visits would cost $105 — $25 more of a $80 annual pass.
