Re: Arches, Canyonlands and Zion Fee Increases
Most of the fee'd parks in the NPS system are proposing increases this year.

Still a bargain in my opinion.

Re: Arches, Canyonlands and Zion Fee Increases
I am so confused about the insurgence of fees for outdoor recreation.

Re: Arches, Canyonlands and Zion Fee Increases
$30 for a week at Yellowstone? Still a bargain.
Life is too short to pay full retail for outdoor gear!

Re: Arches, Canyonlands and Zion Fee Increases
We're supposed to be paying for these already with our taxes.
Anyway, one way to cut down on the fees is to buy a yearly access card for $80. I've 'saved' probably $75 in the last 4 months
after the card paid for itself in the first month or so.

Re: Arches, Canyonlands and Zion Fee Increases
Hear, hear! We bought one as well going into the Grand Canyon NP on New Years day (I think the entrance fee is now $25 there). Used it 3 times since (but at less expensive parks), I think it's just about paid for, certainly a couple times over before 2015 is up. I hadn't realize it was good at ALL NPS facilities, lots of those besides our NP's and NM's. For example, we just used it at the Vicksburg MS "National War Park" (cool place if you like civil war stuff) and a couple days later at a National Seashore in Florida.talamo71 wrote:...
