Cedar Breaks National Monument Accepting Comments on Proposed Increase in Recreational Fees
Cedar Breaks National Monument » Cedar Breaks National Monument Accepting Comments on Proposed Increase in Recreational Fees » Document List
Cedar Breaks is proposing to increase the entrance fee from $4 per person to $7 per person. The entrance fee is valid for seven days. The Cedar Breaks annual pass would increase from $20 to $30. This pass admits the pass holder and up to three additional adults to the park and is valid for one year from the month of purchase.
The camping fee would increase from $14 per night to $22 per night. Registered campers are provided with picnic tables, fire ring, RV/tent pad, flush toilets, and showers. The new campground fee would better align with campground fees found outside the park.
One hundred percent of the park's collected fee revenues are reinvested directly into the park. By law, these funds can only be used to help cover costs that are directly related to providing visitor services such as ranger-led programs and facilities such as campgrounds. With the exception of costs related to collecting fees, fee revenue cannot be used to fund recurring operational costs or to fund permanent employee salaries.
National park units are strong economic engines for Utah. NPS economic data from 2013, indicates that Cedar Breaks National Monument contributed $25.7 million to the area's economy and supported 353 jobs related to tourism.
A 40-day public comment period begins December 22, 2014 through January 30, 2015.
