... The thing being discussed here is the problem of parking passes being used as your ticket in to a national park.
The suggestion was... have you considered bicycling?
... Presumably, bicycling to and from the park, so as to avoid using a car, and the parking pass.
... It is 160ish miles from Seattle to say, the Hoh rainforest park.
Up a literal mountain range.
I think you climb up about uh... yeah, very steep hills, most of the way, up from sea level to 5330 ft, a total of about 11000 feet travelled uphill and 11000 ft traveled downhill in the whole 18 hour journey.
Sure, put your bike in the car, drive it there, ride it around the park, go home in the car.
But then you'd still be using a car, and its parking pass.
... You can't expect everyone, muchless disabled people... to just put in 18hrs of strenuous bicycling to get to a national park, which currently has no real public transit method of getting anywhere near it from most actually concentrated population centers.
