Backpackers are not going to be happy with this.

The Casper Star-Tribune reported:

JACKSON — More than 40,000 people spent a night in the Grand Teton National Park backcountry this year. 

Come Jan. 1 their next backpacking trip will cost a bit more. The fee for a backcountry permit will rise from $25 to $35. Add $10 for advanced registration and the total will be $45. 

In comparison, the fee to camp at Jenny Lake Campground, operated by concessionaire Grand Teton Lodging Company, is $28 a night.
