A collage of 3 images: the parks passport lies on grass outside, a page shows the name Happy Camper as the owner of the passport, an example stamp from Allis State Park has a mockup journal entry that reads: Allis State Park. June 3, 2024. We climbed the Bear Hill fire tower!! I was so scared, but I made it to the top. Then we ate a picnic in the shelter. Did you know it was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps? So cool! I can’t wait to come back :)
