Under the authority of Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, Zion retains 80% of the recreation fees it collects. Fee revenue from Zion National Park entrance stations and campgrounds has provided funding for over 24 major projects since 2010. All of the projects focused on improvements to visitor services, facilities, and visitor safety.
A public open house for the proposed fee increases for Zion National Park and its sister parks, Cedar Breaks National Monument and Bryce Canyon National Park, will be held on Thursday, January 8, 2015 at the Cedar City- Brian Head Tourism Office from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. The office is located at 581 North Main Street, Cedar City, UT 84721. Zion National Park and other National Park Service (NPS) units that collect entrance fees and recreation fees from park visitors are beginning public engagement to seek comments on possible changes in park fees. Zion is proposing an increase to its camping, entrance, and wilderness permit fees. The last time entrance fees were increased at Zion was in 2007. The current camping fees date back to 2004 and wilderness permit fees to 2005.
Description:
Please join park staff to learn more about and discuss the proposed fee increase.
