National Park Fees for Foreign Visitors to Increase in 2026

Starting January 1, 2026, foreign visitors to select U.S. national parks will face increased entry fees, paying $250 for an annual pass or $100 per person, in addition to standard fees. The initiative, announced by the U.S. Department of the Interior, aims to generate revenue for park maintenance while keeping access affordable for U.S. residents. The affected parks include notable sites like the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. The National Parks Conservation Association is reviewing the implementation of this pricing strategy.
