Denali National Park and Preserve Announces Entrance Fee Changes
for 2006 Effective January 1, 2006, Denali National Park and Preserve
will begin charging an entrance fee to visitors who are 16 years
of age or older, in accordance with the guidelines of the Federal
Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (Public Law 108-447) signed on
December 8, 2004 by President George W. Bush. Currently an entrance
fee of $10 per person is charged to visitors age 17 and older. The
entrance fee for a family is $20. Both fees are good for seven days.
The Act created a multi-agency fee authority for the National Park
Service and four other Federal land management agencies allowing
them to retain the majority of the fee revenues collected at the
site to be used for improvements related to visitor use and enjoyment.
The Act also defined prohibitions to charging entrance fees. Persons
who are 15 years of age and younger will not be charged an entrance
fee, repealing previous legislation that prohibited anyone age 16
years or younger from being charged. Other entrance and camping
fees at Denali National Park and Preserve will remain the same in
2006. The park’s annual pass is $40. The federal recreation passports
(Golden Age, Golden Access, Golden Eagle Hologram and the National
Parks Pass) are still valid for entry into the park. Denali has
charged an entrance fee since 1988. A complete listing of fee rates
for park entrance and camping can be found on the park website at
