Fees & Passes Details

Grand Teton National Park offers a variety of entrance fee options to accommodate the needs and preferences of all visitors. For those arriving by private vehicle, the entrance fee is $35, granting access to all passengers within the vehicle and is valid for seven days. Motorcyclists can enter the park for $30, while individuals entering on foot, bicycle, or other non-motorized means are charged $20. These fees facilitate the park's ongoing conservation efforts, infrastructure maintenance, and visitor services. For educational groups or academic visits, Grand Teton National Park offers the possibility of waiving entrance fees. This opportunity is designed to encourage educational institutions to utilize the park as a learning environment. However, to qualify for a fee waiver, applications must be submitted at least two weeks in advance, and applicants must meet certain criteria outlined in the National Park Service (NPS) application process. For frequent visitors or those planning to explore multiple national parks within a year, purchasing an annual pass could offer significant savings. Grand Teton National Park itself offers an annual pass for $70, valid for one year from the month of purchase, covering a single, private, non-commercial vehicle. This pass is an excellent option for those who plan to visit Grand Teton multiple times throughout the year. Alternatively, the "America the Beautiful" Interagency Annual Pass, priced at $80, offers even greater value. This pass provides access not only to all national parks but also to national forests, national wildlife refuges, and lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management and other federal land management agencies. It's an ideal choice for those with a passion for outdoor exploration and a desire to visit multiple federal public lands within a year. The pass can be conveniently purchased online or at most park entrances, making it an accessible option for planning extensive travels across the United States' vast network of protected lands. These pass options reflect the park's commitment to accessibility and conservation, ensuring that visitors can enjoy the natural beauty of Grand Teton National Park and other federal lands while supporting their preservation for future generations.
