Father's Day Gifts for the Modern Dad

Team up the $30 pass with a cool local hiking guide by Craig Romano and some hand-made "hike anywhere you want" coupons from the kids, and you have a great summer ahead. As a bonus, the Discover Pass is now good for two vehicles, so Moms can feel free to "borrow" it to hang out with the kids at or .
