Rehabilitation of Geologic Overlook after Chapin 5 Fire
Mesa Verde National Park is a participant in the Interagency Recreational Fee Demonstration Program. The program authorizes participating parks to keep 80% of the entrance fees collected. These funds have been and will continue to be used for backlogged maintenance, repair projects, interpretation and education, signage, and natural and historical resource preservation. The remaining 20% is distributed to parks that are not part of the program but have similar needs, and other service-wide initiatives.
The park also received funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for six additional projects that will both strengthen the infrastructure of the park and enhance visitor experiences.
