I agree that in some conditions, entry is practically free. Assuming you have comfortable walking shoes and a backpack and assuming you leave near some trails.

Otherwise shoes and basic equipment for jut getting into it might cost a few 100$. not expensive, but I would not say free entry.

    I hike in sandals I got for $11 on rollback at Walmart. I don't think most people need a backpack for hikes that are going to be a few hours at most. Bring a granola bar in your pocket if you really need food. Most people have some sort of bag that can carry things, it doesn't have to be a backpack.
