The White House has announced that new fees will be charged to noncitizen visitors at U.S. National Parks.

The official announcement from the Department of the Interior reads, in part:

Beginning Jan. 1, 2026, the Annual Pass will cost $80 for U.S. residents and $250 for nonresidents, ensuring that American taxpayers who already support the National Park System receive the greatest benefit. Nonresidents without an annual pass will pay a $100 per person fee to enter 11 of the most visited national parks, in addition to the standard entrance fee.
