Starting January 1, 2026, international visitors to top U.S. national parks will face steep new fees. According to the Department of the Interior, nonresidents must pay an additional $100 per person or $250 for an annual pass, on top of standard entry costs. Parks affected include Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon.
The move, framed as an “America-first” policy, aims to boost park funding without burdening U.S. taxpayers. The Interior Department also introduced eight “patriotic fee-free” days for residents only.
U.S. officials say the revenue will help preserve parks while ensuring fair contribution from foreign tourists.
