COVID-19 Update:

(November 13, 2021)

The National Park Service is working service-wide with federal, state, and local public health authorities to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and state and local public health authorities.

The Visitor Center and all public areas including the Last Spike Site, East and West Auto Tours and the Big Fill Hike trail are open to the public.

While the listed areas are accessible for visitors to enjoy, services may be unexpectedly limited. When recreating, please follow local area health orders via the NPS Public Health Update (U.S. National Park Service) and recreate responsibly by keeping social distance, wearing a face covering when social distance cannot be maintained, avoiding high risk activities, and staying home if you feel sick.

The CDC has offered guidance to help people recreating in parks and open spaces prevent the spread of infectious diseases. We will continue to monitor all park functions to ensure that visitors adhere to CDC guidance for mitigating risks associated with the transmission of COVID-19 and take any additional steps necessary to protect public health.

ENTRANCE FEES:

Private, non-commercial vehicle: $20
Motorcycle: $15
Individual (hiker, bicyclist): $10
All park visitors are required to pay an entrance fee or have a valid federal recreation pass to recreate at the park. Permits are good for seven consecutive days. Fees apply to those 16 years old and older. Entrance Fees are paid at the visitor center by CREDIT CARD ONLY.

Recreate Responsibly:

When recreating, the public are required to follow current health guidance, including wearing face coverings, and are recommended to physical distance, frequently hand wash, and avoid crowding in both indoor and outdoor settings. The CDC has offered guidance to help people recreating in parks and open spaces prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Visitors are encouraged to follow CDC suggestions for mitigating risks associated with the transmission of COVID-19 and are responsible for taking appropriate precautions to protect their own health. Operations may be modified, and services may be limited as needed for public health and safety.
