A trip to the Olympic National Park during “peak season” is going to get a lot more expensive if the National Park Service succeeds with its proposal to charge $70 per private vehicle for entry.

“The infrastructure of our national parks is aging and in need of renovation and restoration,” said U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. “Targeted fee increases at some of our most visited parks will 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. We need to have the vision to look at the future of our parks and take action in order to ensure that our grandkids’ grandkids will have the same if not better experience than we have today. Shoring up our parks’ aging infrastructure will do that.”

Under the proposal, peak-season entrance fees would be established at 17 national parks. The peak season for each park would be defined as its busiest contiguous five-month period of visitation. During the peak season at each park, the entrance fee would be $70 per private, non-commercial vehicle, $50 per motorcycle and $30 per person on bike or foot. A park-specific annual pass for any of the 17 parks would be available for $75.

The peak season at Olympic National Park would commence May 1 under the proposal. The current entry fee is $25 per private vehicle.

A public comment period on the fee proposal is open through Nov. 23 on the NPS Planning, Environment and Public Comment website: parkplanning.nps.gov/proposedpeakseasonfeerates. Written comments may be sent to 1849 C St. NW, Mail Stop 2346, Washington, DC 20240.
