(Keystone, SD) Effective January 1, 2011, the cost of a parking pass at Mount Rushmore National Memorial will increase. The parking concessioner, the Mount Rushmore National Memorial Society, will increase the cost of a parking facility pass from $10 to $11.
The parking fee adjustment was requested by the concessioner, to allow for increased costs associated with maintenance, and operational costs including wage increases. The National Park Service has approved the $1 increase, in accordance with the concessioner contract that allows for rate adjustments, as determined necessary. With this rate increase, the concessioner is researching the option of accepting credit cards as a form of fee payment.
