The day tourists dreaded has now come.
Today is the day that the entrance fees at our national parks goes up. It's not as bad as was originally proposed (to held deal with the maintenance backlog of $11 billion).
According to Travel Market Report:
Higher entrance fees at America's national parks go into effect today, June 1.
The National Park Service will begin charging $5 more for most seven-day vehicle passes to enter the 117 national parks that charge fees, out of 417 national parks, including the nation's most popular parks, Grand Canyon and Yosemite. More than two-thirds of national parks will remain free to enter.
At the Grand Canyon, one of the nation's most popular parks, park goers will be charged $5 more to $35 per vehicle, while the annual pass will climb by $10 to $70, according to the park service numbers.
The price of the annual pass and senior pass will remain $80.
