Entrance Fees
You are required to pay an entrance fee in order to access Grand Teton National Park. Under the authorized Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA), many national parks are allowed to keep 80% of all fees collected and to use that money to fund important projects that improve visitor services and protect natural and cultural resources for future generations. In Grand Teton National Park, your fees allow us to spend approximately $9 million per year on park projects such as roads, trails, pathways, accessibility, restoration of wildlife habitat, rehabilitation and stabilization of historic structures, and visitor maps.
Passes are available at entrances and permits desks at the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center and the Colter Bay Visitor Center. Entrance into the park with a pass requires a driver's license or other form of picture identification.
