"Starting Jan. 1, 2026, a $100 per-person fee - charged on top of the typical fee of $35 per vehicle - will apply to entry for foreigners ages 16 and older at 11 of the country's most-visited national parks (see below). A spokesperson for the Department of the Interior confirmed in an email to KQED that the new fees will apply for the amount of time the entry ticket is valid."

"In California, Yosemite National Park and Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks will be affected. Elsewhere, other national parks where non U.S. residents will have to pay the extra fees are: Acadia National Park, Maine Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah Everglades National Park, Florida Glacier National Park, Montana Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming Zion National Park, Utah"

Starting Jan. 1, 2026, a $100 per-person fee will be charged on top of the typical $35 per-vehicle fee for non-U.S. residents ages 16 and older at 11 national parks. The per-person fee applies for the duration of the entry ticket; for Yosemite that means seven days of entry alongside the $35 vehicle fee. The 11 affected parks include Yosemite and Sequoia & Kings Canyon in California and nine others across the U.S., which have hosted about 23 million visitors this year. An annual National Park Service pass for non-U.S. residents will cost $250; the current universal pass costs $80. The National Park Service does not track the proportion of non-U.S. visitors.
