Americans will see more fee-free national park days in 2026, while international visitors to some of the nation’s most popular parks will pay significantly more under a new U.S. Department of the Interior pricing structure.

Olympic National Park is not affected by the new surcharge program, which begins today. Under the policy, non-U.S. residents visiting 11 major parks will pay a $100 per-person surcharge in addition to regular entrance fees, or purchase a new $250 America the Beautiful nonresident annual pass.

The surcharge applies at Acadia, Bryce Canyon, Everglades, Glacier, Grand Canyon, Grand Teton, Rocky Mountain, Sequoia & Kings Canyon, Yellowstone, Yosemite and Zion.

For U.S. residents, the America the Beautiful annual pass remains $80. Senior pass prices are unchanged at $20 annually or $80 lifetime. Passes are now available digitally, and proof of U.S. citizenship or residency is required. Beginning Jan. 1, the pass will also cover entrance fees for up to two motorcycles.

The pass provides access to more than 2,000 federal recreation sites, though it does not cover camping, tours or special permits.

The National Park Service has expanded fee-free days from six to eight in 2026. Entrance fees will be waived on select holidays and commemorative dates, though non-U.S. residents will still be required to pay an entrance fee.

At Olympic National Park, entrance fees remain $30 per vehicle, $25 per motorcycle and $15 per person on foot or bicycle. A park-specific annual pass costs $55.

Olympic National Park recorded 3.7 million visitors in 2024, ranking 25th nationally. Visitors spent an estimated $380 million, supporting nearly 2,900 jobs, according to the National Park Service.
