These 11 National Parks Are Dramatically Raising Fees for Non-American Visitors

"The U.S. Department of Interior has announced a change in pricing for 11 major national parks, creating a more expensive ticket for any non-American tourists.

“These policies ensure that U.S. taxpayers, who already support the National Park System, continue to enjoy affordable access, while international visitors contribute their fair share to maintaining and improving our parks for future generations,” said Secretary of the Interior Doug Bergum in a press release. (You may know Bergum from when he led his state of North Dakota to sue the Department of Interior five times before he took the job.)

The 11 most-visited parks will require the $100 fee for visitors. These parks are:

• Acadia National Park
• Bryce Canyon National Park
• Everglades National Park
• Glacier National Park
• Grand Canyon National Park
