Grand Canyon National Park seeks public comment on proposed non-commercial river trip cost increase


Grand Canyon National Park is seeking the public's input on a proposed increase for non-commercial river trip costs. The proposed change would begin March 1, 2025.

The existing $25 lottery application cost fee would remain the same and the flat rate per-person cost would increase: Lees Ferry to Diamond Creek cost would go from $90 to $310 per person, and the Diamond Creek to Pearce Ferry cost would go from $0 to $55 per person.

Interested parties can provide feedback on the proposal online at https://parkplanning.nps.gov/GRCA_River_Trip_Cost_Increase through January 30, 2025. Written comments should be submitted to this address by January 30, 2025:
Grand Canyon National Park
Attn: Administrative River Operations Program
PO Box 129
Grand Canyon, AZ 86023

The National Park Service last adjusted these charges in November 1998. Funds from this proposed increase will allow the park to better cover the expenses needed to protect the Colorado River corridor, mitigate damages, and restore the corridor as a result of recreational use. Non-commercial and commercial river users share these expenses.

Press release, FAQs, and supporting documentation for GRCA's non-commercial river trip cost increase are linked below.
