[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None. I have loved all I've been to, from Shenandoah to Yosemite to Denali. I'm even willing to pay $70 if I'm going on a vacation to one, but hate that the fee hike is being imposed to balance out corporate tax cuts.[/quote] The fee hike is not being imposed to balance out corporate tax cuts. The fee hike has been in the works a long time -- back into the Obama Administration. The National Parks have over ten billion $$ in deferred maintenance. Meanwhile, the Park Service has done studies that show that visitors to National Parks spend around $18 billion a year in the "Gateway Communities" around National Parks. It only makes sense to try to capture a small part of that money to maintain the Parks themselves (which are the draw, in the first place). Even at $70, the Park entrance fee is a minor portion of the expense of a trip to visit Yellowstone. https://www.nps.gov/subjects/socialscience/vse.htm [/quote]
