Is the annual pass worth it here?

Driving into all 2 fee-charging parks in Wyoming once would cost $70 in vehicle entrance fees. That is less than the $80 America the Beautiful pass, so the pass only makes sense if you will visit other fee areas within 12 months. Run your own numbers in the pass calculator.
