Tim, you can purchase an annual pass for less than what two visits to the park would cost. So from your third visit on it’s free. Good for 365 days from date of purchase. If you’re a long way away, it obviously becomes more difficult though.

Was glad the state took over the property but a bit down on the fact they kept a high price tag on entry. Plus, when I went a couple of years ago, they had closed off a good bit of the park for some (much needed) renovation. I plan to go back but with the price, will have to be an all day trip when its not busy to make the cost worthwhile. I have been there two other times back in the early 90’s and was fascinated by the incredible geology of the mountain. Perhaps I should check out the master plan of the area so as to go at a really good time. BTW, liked the post on the local park on the lake as well. Looks like a gem!
