Apple CEO Tim Cook has announced that the National Parks system will soon be another Apple Pay customer.  If you have ever entered a national park that is popular like Yellowstone or Mt. Rainier National parks, the lines entering the parks can sometimes be overwhelming.

This will soon be alleviated by the Apple Pay enabled iPhone 6, with travelers being able to pay their park entrance fees with Apple Pay.  One can only hope that this will alleviate the lines and make travel a bit less painful.  Sadly the announced usage of Apple Pay puts a starting time of September 2015 which will miss all of the main rush of the Summer months.
