4. For one trip, we bought an annual pass for the National Parks.

We set those as destinations. The nice thing is that you can drive through briefly and not feel that you have wasted the admission fees. Or you can spend all and come back the next if you want.

For example, Grand Canyon was over-run with tourists and we were glad to just make a drive through with a few stops. But some of the parks in Southern Utah were wonderful for the whole day.

The annual pass pays for itself in one visit to a major park. cbayer Dec 2011 #7
