- Activities such as tours or parking that normally carry a separate fee may not be covered by the Discovery Pass.
- Camping fees are not included with the Discovery Pass
- Validity Period: January 1st 2017 to December 31st 2017.

- Camping fees are not included.
Our Verdict
You can view a full list of places to explore here. This has been available since December, but I thought this would serve as a useful reminder. When it comes to nature (and really anything) remember to leave a place better than you found it.
