I got this back from the Parkpass Support section today (1/31/2024): ". . . the state parks have switched to a rolling 12 month annual pass. Meaning if you purchase your pass in February of 2024 it will be valid until February of 2025."

That would jive with smokepoles version that he bought it in 2023 that the 2024 pass is good from Jan 1 - Dec 31, 2024.  Jeff, you might want to call the Parks HQ and get some clarification on your pass purchase.

 "if you purchase your pass in February of 2024 it will be valid until February of 2025."

'until' or 'through'?  I believe it used to be 'through' per what others said of getting 13 months in practice.  Also, 'until' would mean up to almost a month less than 365 d.

I guess you could play word games on this issue forever.  But being a realist, I'm guessing what it REALLY means is that if you buy an annual pass on any given date, it will be good until either the same date next year or the same date minus one the following year.

Buy it on Jan 10, 2023 and it will be good to use until/through Jan 9, 2024 OR Jan 10, 2024.  Not sure and for sure don't really care.  You can decide for yourself what the definition of a "rolling 12 month" period really means.  Tight lines and good luck to you.  I'm outa here.

Sorry, Bob, I did not mean to get your panties all in a pinch .  

I was not really arguing about the terminology, but rather pointing out the 'Good News' that Pacmen reported being told by park staff does not not jive with what's on the state parks page: "The Utah State Park Annual Day-Use Pass is valid until Dec. 31, 2024"
 
There is nothing to indicate that the pass is anything other than it is a calendar year pass per what is stated on their park web page and was implemented just last year.
