The lady in the booth was so nasty to us. We were trying to use our America the beautiful pass and all the signs on the way up say you can, but when we gave it to her, she just rudely tapped on the sign with passes. And I replied, “yes, this is the annual pass. “ To which she replies, “this is a national park”. The pass I was handing her was the national parks pass so I was very confused. Then she said, “I’m not going to argue with you, it’s not worth it to me, just go down”. I still can’t believe she was so rude. Someone needs to speak to her about her attitude. Even if they didn’t take that pass, she could have more effectively explained that and been nicer.
