[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, ramp up fees to visit
[b]Then fewer people can afford to visit[/b]
Then propose shrinking the parks because there are fewer visitors

I think if they need revenue they could increase fees for hunting or fishing

[b]Do you honestly think $50 more is going to deter people from visiting? The parks they are proposing increasing fees at are the most visited ones.. Most people visiting go as part of a big trip. $50 is not going to break a vacation budget.

Annual park pass will still only be $80 so I can see people buying that if the go to national parks more than once a year. [/quote]

Shenandoah National Park is less than 2 hours from Washington DC (about 2.5 hours from baltimore, closer to Charlottesville, etc)  Lots of visitors do day trips.   Some only once a year, so not going to get an annual pass.   Those people may very well be deterred from visiting. [/quote]

yes, i can see this happening. it will deter day trippers who only go to NPs 1 day a year, but it is not going to force people to cancel their vacations there. [/quote]
