I grew up as a poor white child. I was taught that the parks belonged to everyone. My parents would pay a small fee each year to get a state park pass. Now I'm wondering why there was ever a fee. Doesn't seem like much money which is why I think the fees shouldn't exist. Can you imagine how many more people would use this resource if there was no entry fee? I'm not talking about people that want access but can't afford $30. I'm talking about normalizing nature as a vacation destination. Charge a little more for the campsites and give free access to every citizen. Our future depends on is feeling that we are part of the planet instead of masters or parasites.
