Not the best deal
Yow can you put the face of a man who has “In just a matter of months, the current administration has taken concrete steps to undermine the future of the Park Service work” and lookup Ona Judge.
Accidental Cheeto
I’m confused how a photo of a Cheeto was selected to go on the parks pass instead of a photo from one of the parks??? If you’re gonna put a trail snack at least make it some gummy bears, a smushed pb
disgraceful
disgraceful. this year's design is a disservice to the national parks.
Just no.
I would pay triple at the gate, not to have this orange buffoon in my wallet.
disgusting
So disappointed that this narcissist is ruining our public lands and has the audacity to put his face on here.
Sad display of narcissism
Put his grave on the 2027 version and I'll buy two of them.
Cover Image Error
I bought this pass with the hopes of using it to access our nations beloved parks but unfortunately it was misprinted with an image of convicted felon and George Washington.
Disgusting display of decorum
Disgusting display of decorum from the the President putting his face all over everything including this pass that has always celebrated the parks and the nature found in them. I hope we return to the original portraits of nature in the future. Otherwise awesome pass.
Is that a Cheeto on the front?
Great pass, but giving just one star this year because there is something resembling a Cheeto on the front, instead of a picture from our national parks.
awful art
I get a pass every year, I’d rather pay more than own this pass
