Capitol Reef National Park » Proposed Fee Increase » Document List
Capitol Reef National Park and other National Park Service (NPS) units that collect entrance fees from park visitors are beginning public engagement seeking comments on possible changes in park fees beginning in 2015.
National park sites are authorized to consider modest increases in entry fees, which in most cases are being updated for the first time since 2006. Additional funds would be used to enhance visitor services and facilities as the Park Service approaches its centennial anniversary in 2016. Of the 401 parks, monuments, recreation areas and other units of the National Park System, 131 collect entrance fees — about one-third of all units. As part of civic engagement, the park will be accepting comments via an online system.
