Interior Secretary Cancels Plans For Huge Hikes to National Parks

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke formally backed off plans to hike entrance parks dramatically at National Parks including Acadia National Park according to The Hill

According to a release from the National Park Service the changes, which come in response to public comments on a fee proposal released in October 2017, will modestly increase entrance fees to raise additional revenue to address the $11.6 billion in deferred maintenance across the system of 417 parks, historic and cultural sites, and monuments

Acadia National Park's Annual pass will go from $50 to $55 effective June 1st. The per vehicle 7 day pass will go from $25.00 to $30.00 and the per person pass will go from $12.00 to $15.00.
