Overview
- Non‑resident annual passes will cost $250, while U.S. residents will continue to pay $80.
- Foreign visitors without an annual pass will face a $100 per‑person surcharge at 11 high‑traffic parks, including Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Yosemite and Rocky Mountain.
- The pricing changes take effect on January 1, 2026, implementing a July executive order signed by President Donald Trump.
- The Department of the Interior says added revenue will support facility upgrades and upkeep, as parks report reduced staffing and tens of millions of dollars in fee losses during the recent shutdown.
- Resident‑only free‑entry days will expand next year, and officials also announced a modernized reservation platform and broadened motorcycle access.
