Grand Canyon National Park is proposing to increase entrance fees into the park. The public is invited to an open house this evening, December 2 between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., at the 1899 Ballroom of the High Country Conference Center located at 201 West Butler Avenue, Flagstaff, Arizona. Additional information about the proposed fee increase will be available and park staff will be available to answer questions.


 
Description:
The proposed increase would change from $25 to $30 for a single vehicle for a seven day pass. The park's annual pass would increase from $50 to $60. The current rate of $12 per individual or motorcycle would increase to $15 per individual and $25 for a motorcycle.

The additional revenue from the fee increase will be used to enhance visitor services, including repair and maintenance of park facilities, restoration and rehabilitation of visitor service buildings, additional park programs and transportation services, and increase resource protection.

A 60-day public engagement period on the proposed fee increase opened, Friday, November 7, 2014 and will close on Wednesday, January 7, 2015. Feedback will be accepted via email at grca_fee_increase@nps.gov and via U.S. Mail at: Grand Canyon National Park, Attention: Proposed Fee Increase P.O. Box 129 Grand Canyon, AZ 86023.
