The Hill: The Interior Department is considering increasing entry fees at more than a dozen of the country's most popular national parks as a way to raise new revenue for infrastructure improvements.
Interior officials proposed instituting higher peak-season fees at 17 national parks during their busiest five-month periods.
The new fees, if put in place, would affect popular parks across the country, from Acadia National Park in Maine to Denali National Park in Alaska. The agency said the higher fees would “help ensure that they are protected and preserved in perpetuity and that visitors enjoy a world-class experience that mirrors the amazing destinations they are visiting.”
